AMD Hammer Announced

LOL! All you folks stated that they want to buy this thing: What 64 bit OS are you running? Windows 98? Windows 2000?

* 6 4 B I T ' E D *

Isn't the AMD 64bit and the Intel 64bit completely INCOMPATIBLE?

Are they making new 64 bit pci slots
64 bit memory
64bit etc etc (I mean the last time we had a change like this it was the 286 -> Pentium and to be honest (hangs head in shame) I STILL don't know EXACTLY which machine was the first TRUE 32bit machine, I think it was the 386DX.

How long from the 386DX did it take till we had the first TRUE 32bit OS (I don't know which was the first DESKTOP true 32bit OS either) was it OS/2? NT 3.0 or 3.51?
or do we just say realistically first MAINSTREAM acceptance of 32bit was Windows 95, I mean it wasn't a true 32bit OS but it was "mostly" 32bit vs Windows 3.11

Therefore (assuming I've made my above assumptions correct) it took from the 386DX Intel CPU until the first release of Windows 95, before we REALLY had consumers accepting the "new 32bit stuff properly"
How long did it take! (argh) how many revisions of 32bit tech did it take? (386DX -> Pentium 60 or so before the 32bit stuff was released)

I mean we DID have proprietry dos based "protected" 32bit apps (Doom if I recall is one of these, as is Syndicate etc all "dos4gw" based games)

I truely fear this 64bit stuff, I mean it's cool and supposedly going to be so good it will wash my dishes and toss my salad, but how long before it's ON our desks? and how many "fuck ups" will they make in releasing it?

hopefully when DNF comes out, it will be optimized with the x86-64 instruction set.

OMG STOP HAMMER TIME ROOFLES

THIS CHIP IS 2 LEGIT TO QUIT!! LOLMAO

INTEL CANT TOUCH THIS OMG

OMG PLEASE AMD DONT HURT EM LOLOLOL

NINJA! NINJA RAP AMD! OMGTHXBYE!!

six words, H Y P E R T R A N S P O R T

is this the proc that makes me give up my celery 633 oced to 1200 and also buy a new computer to make me better at counter-strike?

HAMMERTIME!!!

Bad name, me thinks

is this the processor that makes amd take the lead?

so will this run windows? when is the 64 bit vers of windows coming out?

bring on Microsoft Windows HAMMER

yummy yummy yummy i got love in my tummy, and i feel like loving u!

/me points finger at AMD

and so now AMD takes the lead...then next year Intel strikes back...and then AMD takes the lead..and then..

like in "Dude, where's my car"

And then? And then?

yum!

this should be interesting, considering we're going over 64bit architecture in EE380

Emcee says to Intel : *** CANTTOUCHTHIS'D ***

you all suck!!!

can it be? first post?
