Go back and look at my response to the message you quoted :-) The short answer is yes, it will work on Intel. > I was under the > impression that it supported the AMD64 instruction set, and that Intel's > 64-bit processors basically cloned AMD's instruction set. Pretty much, but it's never that simple (and wasn't for 32 bit mode either) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM64T#Differences_between_AMD64_and_EM64T Now that they have both been out a while, compilers generally produce code that work on both. Tricky things like JVMs and esp kernels needed explicit support. > I really hope this isn't the case, because it's going to be one hell of > a caveat if we end up telling customers "yes, we support 64-bit AMD, but > not 64-bit Intel." Support is a different issue. It may work, but it may or may not be a "supported" platform of the JVM vendor. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
