Have we optimized AMD64bit processor at this moment?

[Saint]

It can run 32/64-bit application, but at this moment >90% application softwares are 32-bit, so, how can we optimize Athlon64?

Do you think Longhorn will have 64-bit version available?

don't you mean optimize applications for Athlon 64? just wait for the software producers to use 64 bit compilers....

Do you think Longhorn will have 64-bit version available?
probably, when it will make it to market .... :rolleyes:

If you have to sourcecode to the applications compile them with gcc's amd64 option.

There are pretty good 64-bit Operating Systems made just for the AMD 64 from SuSE.

If you want to put that 64-bit technology to good use, try it out.
