Running just fine on my AMD64 processor on this machine... I'm pretty sure AMD worked pretty hard for their AMD64's to run 32-bit apps - by contrast with Intel's previous 64-bit offerings which would not. But in this mode, you don't get 64-bits of "roominess", it looks just like a 32-bit CPU. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
