Will Intel Ship an x86-64bit Chip This Year?

Solid Paradox writes "According to The Register, American Technology Research predicts an x86-64-bit processor will 'soon' arrive from Intel and in another story, they also predict that Sun and IBM will be the major players in the future 64-bit boom. Meanwhile the Inquirer has a somewhat related article entitled Senior Intel PR man talks 64-bit extension talk, which follows their Pentium V will launch with 64-bit Windows Elements article that says that the chip is to be sampled internally this month."

LongHorn. Or is that "lower horn"? If the XP hardware jump was any indicator, they're gonna need it.

Specifically - our DPS Reality DDRs are NOT SUPPORTED running on AMD systems. We use Pentium 4 or we get not support.

I know that these issues have little bearing in your mom's basement, but in the real world shit like this MATTERS.
