<pre wrap="">I think what was meant to be said was about Intel's AMD64-like chip.
It's generally referred to as "EMT64", and works quite similarly to
the AMD64 chip. It actually uses the same "technology" under licence
from AMD (so it can do the 32-bit stuff too). As I understand...
I also understand that at this point they are inferior, due to not
having a decent memory controller built into them, unlike the AMD64.
But I can't verify this... and I'm sure Intel will fix this up, in
time.

Hi Daniel.<br>
<br>
You are correct and this (amongst many other reasons) is why I still
recommend AMD over Intel for around 90% of my clients.<br>
<br>
I have actually seen a very decent diagram of how AMD's integrate
memory controller works in comparison to Intel chips, but because I
personally find AMD's website VERY hard to navigate, this is the best I
could find:<br>
