Introduction to 64-bit Computing and x86-64

James writes "Ars Technica has an article up explaining 64-bit computing from the x86 angle, specifically from the angle of AMD's Hammer. The article explains the details in that usual Ars style, and I found it very useful for thinking about what kinds of applications I may want to put to the test on one of these when we get a box in the office. Even non-x86 freaks may appreciate this, since it breaks down some of the basic advantages of 64-bit computing, and just who can expect to see gains in the near future."

There are some interresting points in there... and judging from the post amount this early, many didn't ;)

Yes I am off topic :)
