Yes. If you want to access the extra ram with a 32 bit OS, you'll need
one of the server versions of MS that supports it or virtually any Linux.

One thing you forgot. If you use Linux then your programs won't work so it
doesn't matter if you have 1 TB of RAM. If your programs don't run then you
are screwed. Using Linux means you are screwed.

Run don't walk from Linux.

Excuse me, but why don't my programs run? I have Linux installed and
haven't noticed any problems. Which of my programs are not supposed to
run?

Your WINDOWS programs, slick. If you have Windows programs they won't run
on Linux.

Um, Windows doesn't make programs, slick. It may host some programs run
both on Linux and Windows and may host some programs that won't run on
Linux and vice versa. So ****ing what?

I don't HAVE ms programs. I don't NEED ms programs. Linux comes with
virtually everything I could ever want preinstalled!
 
That says a lot to do about nothing!

Yeah, frankie, I'm wierd that way. I figure that when you spend <fill in
amount> for a new computer or OS, you should NOT have to spend <fill in
amount> to be productive - it should come with what you need.

Yeah, you're right, frankie. I browse the internet, prepare reports for
several organizations, keep track of a dozen or so banking accounts,
manage a half dozen or so web sites, edit photos on a fairly regular
basis, do a little software development, prepare a few presentations and
work with a number of spreadsheets and databases - nothing very profound.

So do you do all that in your basement? Most companies use Microsoft
products to be productive.

Actually, I "do all that" anywhere I want. But if "most companies use
Microsoft", I guess I'll have to switch - I certainly want to be like
"most companies" - which, currently, seems to be in financial difficulty.
Hmmmmmm - I wonder if there's a connection?

Yet you can't cite on lie ... and don't copy and paste your usual lies
unless, of course, you want to reveal once again that you're a fool.
