"In the long run, if [Intel] were really serious about x86-64...it would
kill Itanium."
That would hurt Intel, which has staked much of its reputation on
Itanium, but it would affect partners such as Hewlett-Packard and
Silicon Graphics moreso; both rely on Itanium for their future server
designs."

Then you can call it Itanic the incredible sinking ship.
It's to the point now that you have a better chance of a bigfoot
or elvis sighting than 64 bit peecee offerings.
cheers.

?? indeed. i have yet to see a single x86-64 incantation on campus and
we have just about everything in biotech...
just where are all these 64 bit intel offerings in business today?

x86-64 IS AMD. It's available anywhere, I saw several machine. Pasteur
Institue in Paris has a whole bunch of biproc Opteron machines, and they
plan to replace all their Alpha systems with these.

Doesn't exist from Intel.

but your post certainly implied that they were widespread and that every
business was running 64 bit x86 machines right now. i dare say they are
still just a novelty and not mass market offerings.

Well, perhaps, but they're blazingly fast, they works well, they're
stable... What's a good hardware if this doesn't qualify?

And relatively inexpensive. I suppose that if you work in industry and
have an unlimited hardware budget, that's not a consideration.
