[plug] urgent questions about 64bit and hardware...

[Kev]

Using Xandros I have had no problems/glitches what-so-ever running wine, 
CrossOver or USB flash drives.  All just works seamlessly on AMD 
Athlon64 3000+ on an MSI mobo or some sort(?).  Or, as they say about 
Xandros, "It just works!"

Good luck
Kev
