The 8086 (the first Intel 16-bit machine) was eventually replaced by the 80386 series of microprocessors -- the first 32-bit ones. It's been a loooong time since those have been available. I think you'd have to admit that the 80386 went faster than the 8086, and not just because of clock speed increases. > Retail price between 64bit and 32bit not much difference. Dell only ships the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista "Ultimate" - -- all others are 32-bit versions. Nobody is going to pay the difference, which ends up being around $200, to get more OS features. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGqn7l9CaO5/Lv0PARAl0aAJ9fN/RB/I22zDPRzXwRP3Fjt1hAdgCgpqD7 A7T64V5BKH/nyDKXq0sxCag= =Mesx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
