The day has finally come for the 64-bit Opteron CPU; reviews are posted in the usual sites. I'm very excited about chip as I've been bumping against the 1.6GB process limit with 32-bit architectures for several years.
I've already run Debian with a 64-bit toolchain with x86-64 software emulation using Bochs. Though I'm excited about the 64-bit hardware, it really won't do much good for me until there are x86-64 Common Lisp implementations. I'm hoping that such a port will be created later this year.
