It's the CPU architecture that matters. If it's anything        newer than a Pentium-4, it's capable of doing 64-bit, probably.               DS> However, with medical and other issues, I can't afford to        DS> upgrade, and I really don't want to give up a whole slew of        DS> legacy doors, that for the most part, are registered.              I don't use Windows, but I'm pretty sure you can run legacy doors on        64-bit these days. Something to do with a 64 version of "NTVDM" or        something similar.              But I do get the idea of not wanting to upgrade just because there's a        new version available. No great reason to do that on a machine being        used to run a BBS.                            ...
