Are We Not Ready For 64-Bit?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stil-working-on-4-bit-here dept.

Q3vi1 writes "The Inquirer posted an intriguing article about how Intel doesn't think that we'll be ready for mainstream 64-bit computing until 2007. Coupled with the fact that MS isn't supporting the Opteron yet for their Windows 2003 Server, we may see a delay in consumer applications for 64-bit computing. However, as this article states, some people don't really care and will just go for Linux and AMD as a nice marriage."

    I could fit "you suck" or something equally insightful into one processor word. Other than that, I don't care. Do you?

    If somebody tells me they have a 'server' without raid-5, I laugh at them and tell them to take their desktop home so their kids can play with it.
