I am going 64 bit with a
Alienware MJ-12 m7700i
The most powerful intel-based notebook by alienware.
with a Intel® Pentium® 4 670 Desktop Processor w/ HT Technology 3.8GHz (EM64T)
and a Intel® 915P PCI-Express Chipset
and 256MB NVidia® Quadro™ FX Go 1400 with 64-bit drivers
Got Raid-1 ON A NOTEBOOK!!

Any Sugguestions I should know about 64-bit, before hitting the on button?

Does the vendor supply x64 preinstalled? If not, ask why not. Some of
their drivers may not be 64-bit and that would be a problem.

Sorry to hear it.

The P4 EM64t is still hobbled to a 400MHz Northbridge chipset for I/O from
RAM to Proc.
It does not have an On die memory controller.
It does not have Direct Connect Architecture.
It does not support the Hypertransport protocol.

You get a P4 with all the old bottlenecks still intact.

Should have gone AMD.

You lose.

I have an Asus A6 64 bit Turion notebook. Not as fast as my Dual Processor
Opteron but it is fully 64 bit driver compatible with the OEM version of XP
Pro x64.

Now that impresses me more than an Intel P4.
