Petz - Are there really no customers who need 64-bit computing but don't want to spend a lot of money rewriting software?

You are making a false arguement here. It is important to understand that to access the 64-bit features of Opteron, software necessarily needs to re-written, including the OS, device drivers, and the applications themselves. Otherwise, you simply have a 64-bit machine running 32-bit software.

You simply don't get 64-bit computing for free, unlike what AMD's propaganda states. You have to spend the money to get the software infrastructure to have a true 64-bit solution.

Do you really believe there are a lot of customers saying they want 64-bit servers (or desktops, for that matter) but don't want to spend any money getting 64-bit software?
