>You wish that Hammer will not be used for x86-64 applications.< Hardly. I would like to see Hammer be as successful as Intel's 386. Certainly there will be Linux users who compile their own 64-bit code on Hammer. There will even be specific shrinkwrap applications, such as 3D animation packages, that will be available relatively early. But, it takes a long time to get a new port past the beta stage, and by the time most of these packages can be validated by professionals, K9 will be out. How long has Merced been out, and how many applications have been validated for it? BTW, by the end of the fourth full quarter of sales, there will be more Hammer processor based systems sold than all other 64-bit systems (excluding embedded processors including those in gaming consoles, such as Nintendo64).
