The main problem with that is that it is still using 32 bit code everywhere,
eliminating the main advantage of the Opteron.  IE the Intel compiler only
produces X86 code...

real 64 bit results will be very interesting to see.  I hope we have some duals
reasonably soon.  There is already a 64 bit linux kernel for the opteron, so the
question will be how does gcc do for 64 bit stuff?  we'll see, hopefully pretty
soon.
