Paul, it seems like AMD really is a one-trick pony when it comes to the x86 market. All their recent successes are based on the strong Athlon processor design, but even that alone can only take them so far. I expect their Hammer series to underwhelm in terms of performance and software support. The success of Hammer is based off of the assumption that Itanium (and McKinley) will fail, that Pentium 4 will fail, and that OS and software for x86-64 will somehow magically appear through the open-source community on-time and fully functional.
