Combjelly, Re: OS for x86-64 netbsd.org freebsd.org LOL! How are businesses supposed to take this seriously? It looks like a middle-schooler's 6th grade project. The open source community may be more interested in programming real code than worrying about how their web page looks, but AMD really ought to take the initiative to make sure that the only two OS links off their main x86-64 site look professional. This is just too sad. wanna_bmw

Re:""Where can you get a 64 bit OS that runs on a Hamster? " x86-64.org Thanks for asking!" What a lame excuse for software support. Thanks for the confirmation that there is no 64 bit OS for the Hamster. And what method do you suggest for loading and debugging this non-existent software on the non-existent Hamster silicon?

hardocp.com One of my favorite people in the Hardware Industry, George Alfs of Intel, answers some questions over at Maximum Hardware. George is a straight shooting kinda guy, not one for mincing the ol' words...which is pretty evident by this quote from the Q&A session. Q.) How does Intel view AMD's approach to 64bit processors, with its Hammer line, which can potentially be able to run 32bit software as easily as 64bit? A.) If you put large tires on a Pinto, it is still a Pinto. The Itanium(TM) processor is shipping solution that has the support of most major operating system vendors and OEMs that sell into the corporate high-end server market. I would rather not compare our widely supported 64-bit and 32-bit processors to competitive processors that are not yet available. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
