Ref:"Intel's EM64T. Is this a "serious" competitor to AMD64?"

Yes and no. Since Intels only 64bit enabled chip is based on P4 architecture, the Prescott...and that core has run into a thermal brick wall it behooves Intel to stall 64 bit Windows until they can add it to the Pentium M core which is the future for them. Intel walks a fine, tenuous line but they still control a lot of standards.

People I know that beta test Windows XP 64 tell me it still crashes too much.

I'v been running Win XP Pro x64 edition beta for a few monthes now.
It has not crashed once.
I dont know who you know, etc, etc.
I do know a good OS when I run across one.
It's like investing,101,DD.

The guy next door saw Elmo, he flew over his house in one of those UFO's. Take it to the bank???
