Jim,

re:Software for Sledgehammer

I just started looking around this evening,
looks like Linux-SUSE is working on X86-64.
(Check the email address)

sources.redhat.com

Several posts, someone ain't doing this for fun.

Also this press release:
amd.com

"By extending the x86 instruction set to 64-bits, AMD's x86-64 technology should give us very fast compiler retargetting and the easiest kernel port so far," said Alan Cox, Linux Kernel Developer.

My WAG is a Linux announcement.
