DEP (Data Execution Prevention)

[Ogmios]

Hy everybody.
I have 2 questions and I hope someone can help me.
Do you know if DEP is active only on AMD64 processors running WIN XP SP2 or on every AMD and Intel processors running Win XP SP2 ?
The last question is : Do you know if VIA K8T890 or Intel 925XE chipsets have hardware firewall ?
Thank you.

DEP is on all A64's. It is on all recent P4. I think the numbered ones - 520, etc., but I'm not certain.

Don't know about the hardware firewall, but don't think so.

I don't think neither has firewall, just get a router.

Firewall - only with nvidia products sofar, and DEP - yes A64's and later P4's have it (newer prescotts, not the originals, i think its the ones with the newer numbering system, or is it the J suffix that has it?)
