Dale, <The difference is that recompiling for the P4 can slow applications down on previous IA32 chips>

I wasn't aware of this, but even if this were true, at least they still run. Kind of like Microsoft's newer operating systems. They still run on older hardware, but it slows everything down, making you want to buy newer hardware (the old Wintel conspiracy theory).

<Recompiling for x86-64 can not because x86-64 apps won't even run on IA32 only chips.>

And that's supposed to be better?
