Ten - Re: "Which should make you wonder how AMD's x86-64 will be even modestly successful if it requires a new OS and newly recompiled apps to take full advantage of the extensions. Tell that to the popularly-supported fundamentalist thread." Ah .... this is where the AMDroids get caught in their own trap - then revert to "32 bit apps will run without recompiling for the Hamsters". In about 18 months, we're gonna be in for a huge laugh !

Tench, you have to distinguish between mass produced apps and corporate apps. Mass produced apps rely on marketing mass appeal ( as Netburst, x86-64, MMX, etc. ) to sell newer versions of their software and the companies that make mass produced software can easily amortize the expense of recompiling and certifying new versions because they get paid when they sell the new versions. Corporate software works the opposite way. Most corporate MIS is not a profit center, it actually shows up as a drain of funds to senior management so corporate apps will be the last frontier for new CPUS/platforms/compilers etc. Constantine
