can someone confirm that the K8 is in fact a 64 bit processor.

I had heard all along that it was another 32 bit processor.

Chuckles - re: "And, you are happy about it? Does it occur to you that such a feat happened because of the massive delays on Merced? "

Doesn't matter now - Merced and the OS support are here - now - TOGETHER.

Which sort of implies that AMD is about 18 months BEHIND with their 64 bit CPU.
