This was really buried, so I'm reposting it. Context: since x86 lacks security, has any of that been addressed by AMD in their new line of chips?

Forget about Microsoft... has AMD done anything to improve things with their 64-bit architecture? Note, I'd ask about Intel's, but they dropped theirs in favor of cloning AMD's model (yay!). -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net GPG key fingerprint = 8F11 D859 81A6 DE8C 5429 4A07 7146 1AFD 5C41 161E "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy, I am testing some old motherboards. I would like to test them without having to mount them in a PC case, i.e.; on a table top with just a power supply, monitor and keyboard plugged in. How would I power the motherboard on? I assume I would need a spring loaded switch, one that completes the circuit once it is pushed. Would this be a SPST (single pole, single throw) like a rocker switch? I usually get this kinda stuff at the RadioShack near where I work, so I'm thinking SPST Heavy-Duty Rocker Switch catalog# 275-690 is what I need (http://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F015%5F003&Page=1).
