Juergen
Geck
Vice President, Technology Partners, SuSE Linux
“We think that 64-bit applications will become the standard and
that’s why we’re providing an operating system for the AMD
Opteron™ processor at the time of its introduction. Being there
in time to enable applications and support software vendors in moving
to AMD64 technology is key in building a secure ecosystem for our customers.”

American
McGee
Creative Director for The Mauretania Import Export Co
" I do believe that 64-bit computing in general is going to help
form the bridge between interactive and traditional media for everyone
from interactive content producers and film studios to consumers... and
I think it's all going to happen rather fast over the next four years
or so." |

Emma
McGrattan
Vice President, Computer Associates
“The relational database engine is actually one
of the few applications that requires 64-bit computing today, or yesterday
indeed. We find that a two gig file limit is not sufficient for running
database systems on, nor is a four gig memory address space. So obviously
since machines are now shipping where half a terabyte of RAM isn’t uncommon,
we want to make use of that by loading as much of the data from the database
into RAM as possible, then you’ve got much faster computation of some
of the database queries.” more...

Perry
President, Shiny Entertainment Inc.
"…the next major step in gaming will be in finding a way for
game worlds to feel so real and convincing that you begin to really care
about the world and its inhabitants. It's going to take hardware that delivers
living, breathing characters and worlds that can be truly explored, not
just visited." more... |

Bob
Picciano
Director, Database Technology, IBM Canada
Laboratory
"At IBM, we believe in partnering to help bring
real solutions to the market place that add customer value, real business
value. We also take great pride in being leaders in delivering technology
that helps accelerate the time to value for the customers, lowering TCO,
helping them get up and running more quickly. We saw DB2 on Opteron as a
compelling platform in helping solve the demanding information management
challenges of today’s marketplace. That’s the reason we were
the first database on the 64-bit platform. It is absolutely compelling..."

Vice President of Research and Development,
SuSE Linux
"AMD and SuSE are driving the convergence of
two massive forces in computing – 64-bit computing platforms and the
Linux operating system. These forces will create a new, ubiquitous information
architecture." more...

Tim Sweeney
Founder and President, Epic Games
"If
there aren't widespread, consumer-priced 64-bit machines available in three
years, we're going to have a hard time developing games that are more compelling
than last year's games."
“I think that 64-bit technology
is a lot closer to being taken advantage of than most of you are thinking.
Voice recognition and super smart operating systems are much further off.”

Brian
Valentine
Senior Vice President of Windows Division
for Microsoft
“I have been a product guy in this industry
for 20 years, and these are the weeks you live for. Not only do we have
AMD announcing their Opteron processor this week, we are also launching
Windows Server 2003, which is the next generation Windows Server platform
force that has 64-bit computing natively built into the platform for the
first time in the server, and also in the workstation release we will be
doing. Before I get started, when we started working on this project many
years ago with AMD—we’ve been there from the beginning with
this project—they came to us and they said..." more... |

Dave
Cutler
Senior Distinguished Engineer, Microsoft
"Over the last ten years, the applications we've put on PCs have
grown. They've grown in size and computational demands. And 32-bits of address
space just isn't enough anymore. The size of databases has grown to the
point where we just can't get the performance out of the 32-bit address
space that we need to get to continue to support these applications. Over
the past few years, we've added a few features to extend the life of the
32-bit system, but it's not enough, and we need to move to 64-bits to continue
to support these large databases and high-end desktop applications. Over
the past couple of years, I've been working with AMD on their next-generation
K8 processor. What's really exciting about the K8 is that..." more...

Brom
Mahbod
Vice President, e-Services Platform Division,
Oracle Corporation
“Today, 32-bit x86 architecture and
RISC processors are the de facto standard in the industry. Customers are
demanding more and more power from their database servers, and so they are
actually pushing the drive through for more capabilities. Oracle is number
one in technology and databases. Its leadership in 64-bit computing that
was there several years ago on 264, and the exciting flexible architecture
that AMD has proposed with its 32-bit/64-bit computing is the wave of the
future." more... |

Richard
Therrien
Vice President of Creative Development
at Strategy First Inc.
"In the 90s, the leap from 16-
to 32-bit occurred quickly, but popular operating systems did not take advantage
of the power made available with 32-bit architecture for several years.
Now, it seems that operating systems will address this issue more readily.
The fact that the x86 32-bit set remains available to run older applications
should help make the transition with minimal adverse implications. 64-bit
architecture and associated operating systems must... more... |
