Nice Iron Chef quote! I think the Abit KV8Pro and maybe the ASUS K8V SE have the settings in BIOS for the mobile A64 chips. That's just a guess - you might want to email their customer reps and get a firm answer. The rest of the mobo makers I don't read up on as much so that's *truly* guessing then.

Good replies, thanks! This isn't a mission critical server by any means - and isn't the NX bit only enabled for 64-bit kernels?
