Dan3, re: "Further, those companies will now have a 64 bit platform that can be incrementally migrated to, to accommodate those few applications that are benefited by 64 bit address spaces." In order to benefit from a 64-bit address space and the register extensions does require a new 64-bit OS which I don't consider to be a likely "incremental migration." See page number 2 of the white paper from AMD which can be found here: x86-64.org Any word of non-Linux x86-64 OS development progress? Not that I run any applications that need 64 bit but I am sure that there are application which could with a new compiler take advantage of the extra width and number of general purpose registers when running in Long Mode. -PT
