I agree, don't really see the need for 64-bits that badly. You would
gain a couple of percent performance 5% tops I would estimate.
My thoughts about HLDS on AMD64:
None of the integer arithmetics does really need 64 bits since they were
first written for a 386 (32-bits)
The only advantage with running AMD64 you would have 16 general purpose
registers (instead of ~4).
Most inner loops are probably gonna end up on the L1 cache anyways thus
the gain of 16 registers wouldn't be that great.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
The people complaining the most of this matter doesn't really seem to
know anything about the inner workings of a CPU neither do they conduct
them selves in a civil manner.
No wonder why most of the questions and replies on this mailinglist and
up my "HLDS" Thunderbird map never to be red.
Personally I don't think that the current Linux distributions are ready
for AMD64. I've several years experience with development of Linux and
drivers for it.

Personally, I've heard of a few blackhats looking into jacking the source
codes, I am pretty sure if they ever pull that off they will begin their own
builds of HLDS / SRCDS.

Dude chill.... It's free, it's your choice. If you don't want to run
Valve, please don't. I did not follow the whole thread on the 64bit stuff
but, i must be missing something big. You make it sound like it's a must
have.
You do know that you can run 32 bits apps on a 32 bit install of your
favorite Linux with a 64 bit kernel (you might have a 4gb+ memory
requirement, or some other hardware related issue that makes you want 64
bit so badly)?

Another pompus asshole remark from Valve. Why we put up with not just
YOUR
smartass comments but the flagrant bullshit coming out of your company
is
fucking AMAZING. Personally, we're dropping all of Valve's products that
we
run for the community in the way of pubs. You, your company, and anybody
that's willing to put up with this kind of shit can find a nice quiet
corner
and fuck yourself. We're tired of you fucking us release after release.
Have
a nice fucking day.
