Windows x64 is coming

[Druga Runda]

and the specs are here

Minimum CPU Speed


• AMD Opteron Model 140 (1.4 GHz)

• Intel Xeon processor 2.80 GHz (800 MHz FSB and Intel EM64T)

• Intel Pentium processor with Hyper-Threading Technology 3.20 GHz (800 MHz FSB and Intel EM64T)

Recommended Minimum CPU Speed


• AMD Opteron Model 140 (1.4 GHz)

• Intel Xeon processor 3.60 GHz (800 MHz FSB and Intel EM64T)

• Intel Pentium processor with Hyper-Threading Technology 3.60 GHz (800 MHz FSB and Intel EM64T)

uhuhuhuhuuuu recommended minimum spec has an Opteron @1.4 ghz and Xeon @ 3.6 ghz... that shurely is some mistake (or not)

and here are some more interesting details

There is not a lot of love between Intel and Microsoft, despite the facade of a perfectly happy 50s style marriage. Intel thinks Microsoft is "cheating" on it with AMD and with IBM, a view reinforced by AMD at every opportunity. A ménage à trois between Sam Palmisano, Hector Ruiz, and Bill Gates does, of course, beggar the imagination. But now we've put the image into your head, it will be hard for you to forget it, we suggest.

That is not Windows XP 64bit.
That's Windows 2003 Server 64bit.
