Yeah, and I'm claiming that databases etc count for a whole lot less than most other apps. > What's the "common case" for 64 bit ? Do you really think it will > be on desktop soon? Oh, not Itanium for sure. But if AMD succeeds even reasonably with Hammer, Intel will certainly see the error of its ways (except they won't admit it) and make their version of a 64-bit P4 core available. They're reportedly working on it already, just in case the Itanic sinks (and judging by current market behaviour it certainly isn't flying). > > In short, you?re > > Don't use umlauts unless you are ready to back it up. That's not an umlaut, that's an "?", which is a real letter in Finnish and Swedish (it just _looks_ like an a with an umlaut to you uncultured people), and it happens to be a letter that is just left of the ' mark on a Finnish keyboard.
