Ars has a nice article with the bizarre news that XP mode in W7
requires _specific_ versions of AMD or Intel's processors:
XPM requires a virtualization mode that most, but not all, AMD and Intel
processors support. I don't follow exactly what you think is so bizarre
about this.
Okay, Chris, so you didn't bother to read it. You're a swordsman, not a
scholar: few clues (or cares).
For those who aren't know-it-alls: In W7, XPM requires _specific_
versions of Intel's -VT processors or AMD-V processors. My 2009 company
laptop does not qualify.

It is similar to the Intel Celeron D.

The drive enclosure has its own disk controller inside it. Your limit

Your sentiment is correct in theory, but every medical facility I've
dealt with insists on SSN. Tried hard at the INOVA Blood Bank, but no
SSN, no donation.
Even worse, is those on Medicare carry a card with their SSN on it. Yes,

My experience is that the limit isn't on the size of one of the partitions, but
on the total size of the drive, and is determined by the number of bits
allocated to (buffer size for) LBA (logical block addressing) by the firmware
in the hard drive interface. In the case of external hard drives
