Default Test new Windows

You can beta test this new version of Windows XP Pro that supposedly will be more compatible with many different processors and speed up processing times. If you download it, you have to burn it to a cd then install it.

I don't think those have EM64T support.

I don't even think my new 3.0GHz Xeon support it either.

I've only seen them in the lab.

1 3.8GHz Prescott supports it and the other new Xeons with 1066MHz FSB supports it.
