Well, Randall, since your past responses suggest you are a big wikipedia fan, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_2_duo Its a 65bit processor. It will emulate 32bit. You incur some penalty in installation size (disk space) but since the bulk of an os is moving stuff around in memory you will gain the use of 64bit registers to do this if you install the 64bit kernel. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
