Nadim, Good question. Others have asked similar questions. Since Red Hat hasn't made an official announcement about this (yet), I doubt a native 64-bit version will be available when 8.1 is released. Of course the feature that will make Opteron MUCH easier to migrate to than Itanium is your ability to install and run (very fast) a 32-bit version of 8.1 until a 64-bit native version is released. This is a replay of the historic Data General versus Digital Equipment 16-bit-to-32-bit transition (read Tracy Kidder's "Soul Of A New Machine"). --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL On Wednesday March 12, 2003 Nadim Bitar wrote: > Is Redhat 8.1 going to support the upcoming AMD Opteron processors or > you need the advanced workstation for that. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
