Are they going to have different editions for AMD and Intel...?

"Important: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, for 64-Bit Extended Systems is only compatible with 64-bit AMD Opteron?based systems. It cannot be successfully installed on 64-bit Intel Itanium?based systems."

M$ has told Intel to make their 64bit cpus compatible with the AMD instruction set. If I understood it correctly.
If and when Intel makes a newer 64bit cpu. (more the matter of when i would think)

Thanks for the info/link, Sir Ulli

I love the way they say "Optional information", and if you don't enter anything, it says "You must enter this information"

I don't have an AMD64...yet....but I might do soon

I just started it downloading at home, coming in at 114k/sec

For Linux, yes. For Windows, no.

 

[muttley]

[Accord99]

The 64-bit version is slower.
