Dan, Re: "Re: x86-64 requires OS support Wrong again. X86-64 is architected to provide no-compromise performance for any of the millions of programs that make up the installed base of "standard" software." Dan, check out the facts. amd.com:7246/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_875_1024,00.html Q: Will users running 32-bit applications benefit from the underlying 64-bit architecture or just from processor speed advances? A: No. 32-bit applications do not utilize 64-bit extensions. Processor speed advances will help both 32-bit and 64-bit applications and operating systems at the same time. You need to have the application recompiled at the least in order to benefit from the extensions. And who will be supporting these compilers? No one, yet. "Intel is forcing any company that goes with its 64 bit solution to re-write or buy new not just the 2% of their software that benefits from 64 bit processing but also the 98% of software applications that don't." There is only a small number of enterprise level apps that are widely used by the majority of enterprise level businesses, and most of these are being redesigned for IA-64. No support has been announced for x86-64. wanna_bmw
