This isn't correct. Newer versions of the Pentium 4 CPU are EM64T (the Intel equivalent of AMD's x86_64)
I stand corrected - interesting, I wasn't aware (we don't have much newish Intel hardware). Does that mean a Pentium 4 with EM64T could run the x86_64 version of openSUSE? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.75°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
