Actually that makes much more sense. I thought I was reading ndiswrapper was not ported to 64bit so it couldn't access the proper 64bit driver. In any case it is all a painful road which I will eventually trod on. > Do you have the urge to allocate >4GB of a memory to a process? If not, > most of the reason for using a 64bit OS are gone.

I would think (and I'm most likely wrong) that if you had >4GB of memory you wouldn't be able to address it for even 4k of allocation in 32 bit mode. -- Sam Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dasbistro.com/~sam/ San Francisco California _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list RLUG@rlug.org http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
