Mike, Thanks for the help. I think I'll look at replacing this box with a new Dell Inspiron Zino HD, which does run 64-bit. (That, and I get a new computer. After all, the rest of the family got new notebooks this past year and my main computer - an eMac - is many years old.)
I still want to put OpenSolaris x64 on the Zino, so I can share the 2 1.5TB USB drives using zfs mirroring, afp (netatalk) and samba. --Lyndon On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 2:06 AM, Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> wrote: > On Thu, 29 Apr 2010 18:49:15 PDT > lyndon vanwagner <lyndon...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Can I run the 64-bit kernel on a Pentium 4 with hyperthreading ? > > Maybe.
