from what I understand no (and I am sure others will correct me if I am wrong). What I can say definitively is that Plan 9 will run on a 64-bit machine when compiled in 32-bit mode. My primary machine has a AMD Phenom II X4. It is one of those cheap Gateway machines, which unfortunately do not give you lots of details of what is under the hood (and I might not have bought it for that if I had fully know up front). So the good news is that you can probably get it to work. The best place to start looking it look at Erik's 9atom boot disk and you might have to play around with the SATA/IDE settings (which on my bios caused lots of problems). The should be a hundred or so posts in the archives dealing with 64-bit machines and booting with 9atom. Hope that helps. EBo --
