Here is a link to software which will test the Data Execution Prevention ( DEP ) of 64 bit processors . It only runs on Server 2003 SP1 , XP 64Bit SP1 , XP 32bit SP2 .

Whats the point of having some program to "test" it? Its a pretty simple feature. Microsoft puts an on/off checkbox in the versions of Windows that support it. Other processors and operating systems have had this feature for years.

I am not sure , maybe it doesn't always work ??? We won't know until some people test it .

Its supposed to work if you check it off in Windows.
