Re: OT: was: Re: 32 or 64??


I couldn't help but notice recently, much to my cost, that Intel is
removing Virtualization extensions on all their current socket 775
CPU's.. (how are the i5 and i7 faring?). The only reason I can think
for this move is to prevent the low end cpus from competing with the
workstation/server market, since these cpu's are now more than fast
enough for many workloads to be simply io bound.





Go AMD. No surprises whether there is hardware virtualization or not.
