They changed the name of their 64-bit extensions to x86 to Intel64 (not to be confused with IA64) a couple months back. It doesn't seem to have taken root, though, as everywhere you look it's still referred to EM64T. There was even a thread about this on one of the FreeBSD mailing lists (although I don't feel like searching for the reference). -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
