Transmeta To Add 'NX' Antivirus Feature To Chips

Posted by timothy on from the nix-'em dept.

Autoversicherung writes points to a ZDNet story which says that "Transmeta will support "No Execute," or NX, in their next core revision. Transmeta will provide advance versions of Efficeon-based systems with NX support to Microsoft for testing. Hope Linus get a few too, even if he's no longer working there. The NX-equipped Efficeon chips are due for general release later this year."

    Okay, I just read the article. Pretty stupid question I asked (about NX and NOP). Don't even bother to reply.

    You think that, rather than wasting mod points on the parent, the moderators could post something funny like
