im sorry you feel that way, i will be laughing at your p4 for the next 3 years...
Feel what way, excited about more competion in the personal computer market?
I've heard it before, then we see it for real, then it gets updated, then we see the bugs get ironed out of the OS to make full use of the hardware..... Not by september.
Intel don't see money in it for desktop use, making 32 bit apps a home on 64 bit hardware. While they have been making 64 bit cpu's for servers for sometime. Nothing in the range of what IBM is claiming AFAIK. Intel aren't aiming the Itanium at personal computer user.
I could always get a AMD board but where's the 64 bit software? Linux (most likely) or Win2k advanced server LE or a copy of the XP due for release mid-year (which probably wont run on the AMD chip), no need, thanks.
So whats apple planning, new hardware, optimized OSX and your old 32 bit app's that may well run slower rather than faster?
You'll get the jump on the Itanium but you really can't see Intel let IBM keep it that way for long.
I don't mind if your laughing in 5 months, I'm not spending the money. I'd be very surprised if your still laughing 6 months beyond that, let alone 3 years.
If I feel bad about it, not likely, I'll download a game to take my mind off it.
