Just gotta wait a bit for an x86-64 >compatible Windows. Itanium is exactly as proprietary as Opteron is -- each CPU is manufactured by exactly one company, and no other company licensed it (yet). And you can buy Itanium2 system for ~$3,300 -- comparable to what you should pay for high-end x86 system (though that x86 system will have more, and probably will be faster). Thanks, Eugene
