What's new in Linux 2.4:
• Support for three new architectures: IA64 (Itanium), S/390 IBM mainframes and SuperH (chips embedded in many Windows CE handhelds)
• Support for processors faster than 2 GHz (Intel expected to deliver this in the third quarter of 2001; AMD in the first quarter of 2002)
• Better linear symmetric multiprocessing scalability
• Ability to address up to 64 GB of physical memory on Intel-based servers
• Support for USB drivers, 3-D accelerated graphics cards for desktop systems
