BAD HARDWARE comment:
CIA reports two flavours of Merom? 32bit and 64bit?
For REDHAT of course. But, will be there 64bit Merom support for October Microsoft Vista?
I said no, Charlie yes. In my humble opinion, it is only in 2Q 2007 with Vista SP1.
Bet is worth some $1000. Everyone can join. :) I mean would you like to run Linux on Merom
first, when Vista is just around the corner? Actually Merom New Instructions should be SSE4?
Details on Merom architecture expect from me today, somewhat later. And don't forget,
Bad hardware knows bad hardware. The best. :)
