5 although I've never used the Itanium. I agree it was ahead of it's
6 time. nothing when it was released could run on it (for the most
7 part). which is why athlon64 made it big it was backwards compatable.
8 if OS's ever go to 64-bit it may come back. I'm not sure why apple
9 when backwards instead of emulating or using select 32-bit programs.
