>From http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html: "OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode. It also runs on processors made by other manufacturers which have cloned the AMD64 extensions. (Some Intel processors lack support for important PAE NX bit, which means those machines will run without any W^X support -- it is thus safer to run those machines in i386 mode)." This machine has the Intel Q6600 quad-core processor, which supports PAE NX. /Don Allen > -- > Ed Ahlsen-Girard > Ft. Walton Beach FL
