A couple of clients I have use 64-bit AMD machines. I recall there weren't any official Sun SDKs supporting those machines. My clients were forced to use some other non-Sun SDKs. Not good. Lots of bizarre issues. As for 64-bit gotchas, I wouldn't be surprised. Newer hardwares often have new problems. I try to go with mainstream models. Cluster up a few mainstream workhorses if we need more power. Jonathon Skip wrote: > BJ > > Thats a good idea, I would be particularly happy to hear about 64 bit > gotchas.
