[dba-Tech] Good deal

So right.  I am in the process of upgrading all my home / office machines to
that chip for exactly that reason. My laptop has that chip and 2 of 4 of my
home / office machines have it.  I just received the MB and chip to upgrade
my wife's machine to the Athlon64.  That leaves a single desktop using the
Athlon XP and my wife's OLD laptop using an old PII.  Slowly but surely.

Oh you can try the execute disable bit with Win XP SP2 and that chip. 
That should block any buffer overrun viruses.
