According to http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/534 Intel initially chose not to extend their IA-32 processor family to 64 bits, preferring to promote their own but incompatible HP PA-RISC based IA-64 "Itanium" processor family !
but then Intel adopted AMD's 64-bit extensions into their IA-32 processor family, calling them "Intel 64" (aka IA-32e and EMT64). Final generation Pentium 4 & D, Celeron D, and Xeon processors and all "Core 2" based processors now include AMD compatible 64-bit extensions.
To add to the confusion https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProcessorArch lists a few dozen Intel processors but doesn't make it clear which type a Pentium DualCore is ! Which is what my Compaq A900 notebook says it has in it !
I have 4G of RAM that I have only been able to access 3G of so far (with 4 different OS's)
Update :
It seems that my Pentium DualCore has PAE (?) support and when I install from the Xubuntu x86 (32-bit ?) CD I CAN see all 4G ! So what benefits if any would I get from using the Xubuntu 64-bit (AMD64) CD instead ?

I haven't taken a great amount of time to update this blog in the recent year, and there are times of familiarity when I do come here and visit to which I am very thankful, but I don't always feel terribly comfortable or free to express myself here anymore. I recently reread some of my older posts from 2006 and on, and at that time I had a certain passion for blogging, and a certain fearlessness to post as I felt at all times. My personal space has been violated since then in this area though, and even though I am literally bursting with budding romance, sexual energy, freedom and love at this instant, there is extreme distance between my Vox and I from 2006 until now. I resist posting anything of importance now, which does not serve me as I used this blog as a board of creativity for a long time! I feel like having this space is really important, and so I'm starting a new blog today. If you are interested in reading, please send me an email to sharkslovecupcakes@gmail.com, contact me on Facebook as Monika Sylvestre or send me a message on here and I'll be happy to Invite you to this new location. Thank you and Namaste.
What a crazy week. Busy getting ready for two weeks of much needed vacation. Since the work never goes away, it was long days all week at the office. But I did make a little time for some fun stuff like...picking up chocolate and other Christmas goodies for when I visit my swell pal Cranky! Hooray!
My sister just wrote a very sweet and lovely blog post that made me cry. She's on her second crappy week in a row...show her a bit of love. Love Sister.
Why does shrimp scampi hate me so? I'm still bursting out in hives every time I eat it. Last night was a very itchy night...until I took Benadryl...then it was a very tired night. I'm not ready to give up on it yet...even though I do seem to be getting hives from shrimp nearly every single time. Damn! I hope it's limited to shrimp, I looove shellfish.
Anyway, gots a busy weekend ahead and then a drive down to Miss Cranky's on Tuesday! I can't wait!

Voilà, ça suffira pour l'indigestion, je vous garde la suite pour une autre fois;)
"The absolute holiness of God should be of great comfort and assurance to us. If God is perfectly holy, then we can be confident that His actions toward us are always perfect and just. We are often tempted to question God's actions and complain that He is unfair in His treatment of us. This is the devil's lie, the same thing he did to Eve. He essentially told her, "God is being unfair to you" (Gen. 3:4-5). But it is impossible in the very nature of God that He should be unfair. Because He is holy, all His actions are holy." Jerry Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness
