Actually, a 386 was a 286 with paging at first. :) A Xeon is certainly an ia32 processor (esp. when compared to ia64), and just as paging was an extension to the protected mode already present in the 286, one can think of long mode as an extension of 386 protected mode with PAE. Take a chill pill, his e-mail didn't even contain the word "AMD" and you still flew off the handle. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
