Dan,

It looks like AMD wants to have a full blown 64 infrastructure available at shipping, including a fully developed Windows X86-64 and Linux X86-64, 64 bit drivers for video cards, 64-bit drivers for network cards, etc.

I doubt the Windows part. I mean, drivers may be ready, but Windows x86-64 will not be ready for shipment when Hammer is released. The .NET Server version will ship in early 2003 and this is what AMD FAQ says:

Q: When will the AMD-compatible version of 64-bit Windows products be available?

A: This is an ongoing collaboration with AMD, and the results of this collaboration will occur in a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system after Windows .NET Server RTMs.
