I originally thought that this 230 Atom processor was just 32 bit, but
I discovered it supports 64 bit. I forget who I was talking to at the
last Lugod social, but he was telling me that the Atoms were 64 bit. I
didn't think they were. It is true that the N270 (My Dell Mini 9) is
only 32 bit, but this 230 (MSI Wind Barebone system) is 64. 64 bit sure
does make a difference!

I guess I just wanted to stand partly corrected! ;-)

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make
it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
