Absolutely, its an architecture not a brand name, should call it x86_64 as often done in Linux. If you run only a 32bit kernel on that system of yours you're cheating yourself out of performance anyway. slurp down an iso and boot that before you go pulling dimms and such :) Jack On 9/27/06, [EM

Hello, I am having a very hard time getting an Intel se7230NH1-E motherboard with 6gb of memory to work. I keep getting two messages about "Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up". I'm not sure what the BIOS is (it seems to be OEMed to Intel), but with the menu structure I'd hav
