News: Apple G5's start shipping

Well, Macs weren’t the first. Intel tried to realease a 64bit processor, but it wasn’t a hybrid so it was too (2)advanced for its day (like the Sega Dreamcast) and died. AMD is taking over with 2 hybrid processors (codenamed project hammer. Jackhammer and sledgehammer) and another to be realeased later which is 64bit only.

god im smart.

yeah, but windows won’t support 64 bit for a while, Longhorn??

I don’t care, I’m still runing 98.

A 64-bit version of windows have been out for a while. As your ordinary home user/consumer, you’re not seeing it in your corner computer store, but its out there.

If you’ve installed the patch for the blaster worm, you’ve probably even noticed the 64-bit OS options when specifing your operating system for download.

After a quick search I found this article from around this time 2 years ago announcing a 64-bit win2k and mentioning 64-bit XP coming out soon after.
