Albert, <is not it too early for code, after all, hammer is not out yet?> Software is notorious for lagging hardware by a huge margin. It took over ten years before the 32-bit extensions introduced by the 386 became mainstream. Support for SSE sure didn't happen overnight; it took about two years before most of the apps that could use SSE did use it. More relevant, apps and OSes for Itanium were under development well before Itanium was actually released. And it's still taking a long time to get compilers, OSes, and applications ported over. But I'm sure that's all Intel's fault, and AMD can "walk on water" by comparison. Tenchusatsu
