<b>Linus Torvalds on AMD and Intaium</b>
<A HREF="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=g:thl2848289276d&dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=bpo38q$h93$1@build.pdx.osdl.net" target="_new">From: Linus Torvalds (torvalds@osdl.org) Newsgroup Comp arch</A>

This is what Linus has to say about Intel
=========================================================

Quote :

You can believe Intel marketing all you want ("the desktop doesn't need more
than 4GB of RAM in the next few years" ), but that's a *lie*. Exactly
because the 32-bit virtual limit is _not_ at 4GB, but hits us much before
that (ie it hits at about 1GB of RAM - that's when the OS starts having
trouble mapping all of physical memory _and_ user space at the same time
without starting to have problems.

And here is what he say about AMD64
===========================================================

Quote :

And AMD64 actually gets this right - you can continue to happily use your
32-bit apps that don't need the bigger address space, without any
performance downsides. While the (much smaller) part of the installation
that actually can take advantage of 64-bit addressing can do so.


Linus speaks the truth!
