Dan, <Well, keep in mind that Itanium/McKinley doesn't support 3 modes like hammer. Hammer can run 32, mixed 32/64, or pure 64. Itanium/McKinley runs only 32 or 64. Unless you are going to give up all possibility of using the 64 bit execution units of Itanium/McKinley (not a bad idea unless/until there is some software for it) it may be that you can't use the 32 bit hardware in Itanium/McKinley.> Try again. Itanium's two modes of operation work just like the Hammer 32/64 and 64 modes (using your terminology). The only thing Itanium doesn't support is a mode that resembles Hammer's 32-bit legacy mode (i.e. run a 32-bit OS). You also forgot to mention that in order to use Hammer's 32/64 and 64 modes, you actually need a 64-bit OS. So far, Hammer's 64-bit OS support is vapor-thin. Tenchusatsu
