The patch I saw that supported it required defining something in the openssl config file to actually enable it and we don't use a config file so not sure what that means for us. Probably just a 1 line change, but I'm hoping 1.0.1 comes out before I have to worry about it
Forget the atom, you have to be careful even with the i5's! The entry level mobile core i5 used in most i5 laptops doesn't support AES-NI. What the heck...
