Intel might expect everybody jumps to 64 bit straight up just wont happen that way. If their going to leave behind the x86 instruction set, you will lose compatibilities. In the end your making a different MAC, and will need emulators so to be able to run your favorite software on it. Thats a slowdown you dont want. If Intel holds up, AMD is going to win the 64 bit market.
All the patches are betas, you accept the fact they can be buggy or have problems, Unpatched Unreal works OK, they need to get the 226+ patch out. Unreal came out during a time when it was pushing the technical edge of gaming, where the industry wasnt attuned to it. Welcome to the world of debugging. All the new vidcards and/or soundcards had some kind of problem or something. I just bought a new Aureal Thinderboard Soundcard, and it has problems, I decided to keep it, hoping the get new drivers out, because it looks like a killer card. If you encounter a bug, go into the unreal/system folder and look up the UNREAL.log file, visit http://unreal.epicgames.com/ and send them an email with the log attached or included in the message for them. Also, for me, I encountered problems with my system, I ended up re-installing WIN98, AMD even reccomended flashing the motherboard bios with updated drivers, which I did. Reinstalling Win98 meant reformatting the drives and installing. I did. My buggy system cleaned up great. Unreal225f is pretty solid, NVidia has a new driver set for the TNT, it may work better. I have said it before, Unreal may have done better if it was released at this time than back in May, 98. History now, but the game IS improved. My hopes is they re-release the game with ALL updates and fixes squared up. Because I want a NON-beta CD version!

Wakeup Intel, AMD is on the way
