It's (Almost) Hammer Time

thelizman writes "C|Net is catching up on the buzz with AMD's Hammer line of processors. Of note in the article is how AMD demonstrated their 64-bit contender using Linux and Windows, instead of just Windows. In reality, Linux will likely have 64 bit applications more quickly than Microsoft, and will see use on this processor more readily than your average WinTel machine, so you know...like...it only makes sense."

    Bah, you're just jealous because you couldn't think of a clever pun first! :-)

    Seriously, man, don't get too excited about this. Lighten up! See? I'm back were I started, at 2 (because Karma>25, I guess), so all's well that ends well...though I am a bit hurt that you didn't think my pun was funny (I sure thought so).

    BTW I use Linux and Windows daily...
