Why stop at PIII. I've been running 5.0.5 on Pentium 4's for more than 4
years and have never had a problem (even on the Xeon chip). Yes, I know
Xeon is supposed to have problems with any release prior to 5.0.6, but my
experience has been nothing but good when using them. I have seen nary a
single fried CPU yet, and I must have 15 or more clients running them right
now.

Take it for what it's worth. Action speaks louder than words.

Thanks JP and Steve,

I end up going to the site to check some other stuff, It turns out
that they have 5.0.6 so now I guess I will have no problem running on
P4 (Xeon chip).
