Dan, <If you have an application that requires 64 bits (databases, mostly) it supports modestly changed code to accommodate that need.> Nice euphemism. That all depends on what your definition of "modestly changed code" is. According to the AMDroids, optimizing code for Pentium 4 is a no-no. But "modestly changing code" for Sledgehammer is a sacrement. Don't forget that Sledgehammer will require a "modestly changed" operating system as well. Funny how none has been announced yet. <Now you're getting it, the Zen of AMD.> I already know what this Zen is, "If AMD doesn't have it, no one needs it!" Tenchusatsu
