In particular I suspect merely having 64 bit Windows XP doesn't buy you as much as you might expect, and I understand it has to have 64 bit drivers for all hardware. If one had to stick with Microsoft, and need more memory, then I suspect more modern OSes are the way to go. The small performance difference between XP and Vista is probably not relevant for the kinds of software that need this much memory. Either way the emulators aren't going to magically fix limitations of the software that runs on them. I'm curious as to what James is going to run on it, that he can't do on GNU/Linux. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
