What exactly is it? I thought it was just the x86/64 instruction set added...is that correct or is it more?

i think it's just a memory addressing extension...

I thought it was just the 64bit extension equivalent to that of the AMD chips, but its the version used in Intel on it's Xeons.

It allows them to access more memory. Its not really 64 bit at all. Its more 64bit memory addressing.

wow, I never knew that nobody has true 64 bit yet, well except the Itaniums.

Sparcs too. G5s also. Im sure there are others that I am forgetting.

It's x86-64 on Intel chips.

You can run existing x86-64 binaries on it.

Mips and Power were 64-bit too.

yea the old unix, the SGI machines have been 64bit for a LONG time...without those htings, we wouldnt have terminator 2. thats a what, 1992 movie?
