Righteous Backup is tested on Intel Xeon, and is supported on all IA32 compliant chipsets using the MMX instruction set. This includes:
Intel Xeon
Intel Pentium II and higher
Intel Celeron
AMD Opteron and Athlon and all other compatible CPUs from these and other vendors.
EM64T and AMD64 Processor
The Intel EM64T and AMD64 group includes the following CPUs:
Intel Xeon and Pentium with EM64T
Compatible chips from other vendors, including AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64
Note: When a 32-bit operating system is installed on 64-bit hardware, the operating system will run as if it were an x86 (32-bit) system. This means that the machine is supported with the 32-bit x86 version of Righteous Backup in all places where it says "x86" in the list of supported configurations.
