Of course there are. MSVC, HP's, and Intel's compiler. And there is GCC, but it performs much less optimizations than either of commercial ones (it's very hard to do some of them). >Also, how much would an Itanium based system cost? I assume that >it is more than I could afford for my home system? I cannot answer that question -- ask Intel guys. But in several years they'll be cheap enough... And of couse you can design your program on 32-bit hardware and than just recompile it for 64-bit system. MS tries to make it as easy as possible, and my guess is that HP/Intel is doing the same.
