actually, a good question yes i think it would, all the 500 (i think) and higher cpus are duron/athlon. i think that the "xp" is a naming convention only and is not actually a different processor. this is only my understanding though, i haven't followed hardware too close in the last year or so... does anyone else know if the "xp" cpus are affected? -- "If Microsoft is innovative in any area, it is in creating new forms of intimidation." - Ralph Nader shane registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/ http://www.mystic-light.net/personal/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org cause humans do it better!
