EM64T = AMD64 because they have a patent-sharing agreement...

so yes  amd64 codebase should run even on the newest lga775 pentium 4 or the
newest xeons which support em64t

greetings,

alex

Hello,

Actually, what it says is, "Intel's extensions, which
it first used in the Xeon and are called EM64T, are
compatible with AMD's extensions." I wouldn't infer
that to mean more than it says: Intel's _extensions_
are compatible AMD's _extensions_. A quick experiment
would tell. Because these same extensions exist in the
Xeon, by your reasoning, the AMD64 codebase should run
on a Xeon platform, nee?

Regards,

Stheg
