RE: Where is IBM?

["Mike Shaw" <mhshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good question!  I think another very important question would be how
many PC based 64 bit applications are there out there ready to take
advantage of this????  I think the answer would range from NONE to Very
Few.

Remember the ol' 16-to-32 bit wars for PC applications???  :-)

Subject: Where is IBM?

The CEO of AMD, Hector Ruiz, is on CNBC right now talking about how
important their new 64-bit Opteron chip is because of the huge amounts
of
data in the world that need to be addressed. He said you will be able to
order it today after their press release. Another web article talks
about
how to make the transition from 32 to 64-bit. Now where the heck is IBM
to
say they know a thing or two about this subject?
