[extropy-chat] TECH: Computer Upgrade Paths...

[Brian Atkins]

I should add that the current version of WinXP is not 64-bit and gets no 
boost from the 64-bit version CPUs from AMD, except reportedly that 
service pack 2 coming out later this summer will support the NX bit for 
helping prevent overflow attacks.

Supposedly a separate release of WinXP or server will be out by the end 
of the year to support 64-bit.

P.S. For whitebox computer shopping, www.pricewatch.com is good.
