Just curious. Current 64-bit mode was developed by AMD, and later adopted by Intel for use in their own processors. All current AMD processors, except cheapest Semprons, even E-series intended for netbooks, support AMD-V virtualization, which was introduced a little later, than Intel VT-x, but turns out to be more effective and simpler to implement in software. In the same time, not all Intel processors support VT-x, which Intel uses to segment its market. Support for VT-x may even vary between different versions (as identified by Intel's sSpec Number) of the same model number. To differentiate between them, while making a decision, you must refer to a complete list on the Intel website. Not to mention, that in addition to AMD-V, all current AMD processors support ECC RAM. Nevertheless for "64-bit support *and* DOS support" Intel is a "best bet"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
