There are P-4's with em64t and there are P-4's without em64t. This one has em64t, and a 64bit distro installed, so you're good to go. You, of course, should cat /proc/cpuinfo to make sure that what I said is true. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/01/msg00154.html for how to tell whether a processor is a 64-bit processor. (Intel should be up to the Nonium, or Decium processor now, or maybe the P5, but no... They decide to confuse us by not renaming their chips even when they greatly change them) --Ken -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
