Dear Jozef: Re: Sledgehammer 64 bit addressing will first be used in the OS virtual memory portions (like the Linux Kernel), since an application may not need 4GB but many of them combine to need it (sometimes tens of thousands running at once). The next ones will be DBMS and Multimedia apps. Finally all apps will be able to use it. The first phase, 64 bit in the kernel will be there before SH ships. Possibly, for Linux anyway, all three phases will be done before SH ships. It will take MS much longer (if ever). The nice thing is that you do need to use it if you do not want to. Pete
