Hi Ed,

take that opteron beast. Look at the amount of registers in 64-bit mode.
I guess ms-betas are already available, assembler, C++-compiler, linker,
debugger, the os itself.

You may have a closer look at ms and sandpile sites, e.g.:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/default64bit.mspx
http://www.sandpile.org/aa64/index.htm
ftp://ftp.sandpile.org/

Cheers,
Gerd
