For the DEP that's why choose AMD over Intel. Since 1989 I've been using AMD procs for many years from the K5 to the Athlon family. Now onward to the X2 family. ;)
Marc Sims Data Technician I Prince George's Community College >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, March 18, 2006 >>> DEP [data execution prevention] that you can read more about at Control Panel\System\Properties\Advanced\Performance Settings button\Data Execution Prevention\How does it work? "This is a hardware-based technology designed to mark memory locations as non-executable" & is available only with the AMD64 CPUs. FWIW this is just another place where AMD kicks the pants off of Intel. DEP & nVidia's nForce firewall are 2 different kinds of security precautions. IIRC nVidia had this out before Xp had Sp2 with it's Security Center. This particular mombo uses the nVidia nForce 3 chipset which you can read more about here <http://www.nvidia.com/page/nf3.html>. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
