WTF are you talking about?!?!?!? I have 2 AMD x86-64 1P Clawhammers undermydesk. I also have a 2P x86-64 Sledgehammer nearby. The Clawhammer desktop systems will ship 1Q03. 2P systems will come out 1H03. > > I just wish AMD added an 8K page size so the Page Table Maps did not > > eat so much memory. > > More proof that hardware people don't ask software people how they > expect to use the hardware after it's built. Feh. The x86-64 'swapgs' instruction was added at the direct request of the SuSE Linux folks.
