And now I get to do more shopping, this time for new hardware. I'm going to install 9.3 onto a new disk. I'm thinking of getting my first SATA drive (I've been a SCSI guy. I like the 10,000 RPM, Ultra160 drives--they're fast!).
Don't forget a 64 bit CPU!
Aside from the larger address space-what good is a 64 bit CPU?? Jerome
Strange, I can't remember anyone asking a similar question when CPU's went from 8 --> 16-bit or 16-bit --> 32-bit, perhaps it was too obvious back then. Regards Sid.
It was. The hardware really limited things back then. Remember memory mapping etc?
