so - what makes you think AMD merges with Vista? I am running Vista on a P4D right now 
I think he means that it can execute the 64 bit code, where as anything less than the Core2 Duo will only do 32 bit.

false again... Intel has had EMT64 code for about 2 years, and just so you guys know Vista will be released in 32-bit and 64-bit versions...
wow - lots of misinformation being tossed around!

ok - these are laptop CPU's

just a note, these are the older Core Duo Intel CPU's the Core2 versions were released yesterday and are even FASTER

my friend has a 3.0 cpu with a 800 mhert fsb thats a bottle neck that hurts peformance no matter how fast the cpu. i go with amd and lan party motherboards that fsb is the same as the cpu.

So what you're saying is, my Pentium M is EMT64? I don't think so! I guess the 'Pentium 4 EE' has it, but that's definitely NOT a laptop processor, and I sure hope you're not saying Intel has been supplying Xeon laptops.
From what I know, the 64 bit version of Vista is the 'fully featured' version, where as the 32 bit is being made mainly for backwards compatibilty with existing platforms (like my P-M).

you are correct, Intel mobile CPU's haven't had 64-bit until Core 2 Duo (just released)

so what you're saying is that you'll pick the FSB with the same speed as the CPU - which in the chart above, is slower

I'd go with whichever one runs cooler.
