64-bit world. Waiting for hardware.
Well, few days ago I've applied for the x86-64 bounty. Hopefully the Epox mainboard together will nice athlon chip will arrive within the next two weeks. I have to grab all components I need by this time.
Getting 64-bit native into work may be a bit complex but at the very moment I see no reason for it to be undoable. There will be many many fixes to aros required. Some pieces of code will have to be made APTR/IPTR aware (we happen to use ULONG variables to store pointers somewhere in our code nowadays). But it should work.
No. It will work!
I guess I will try to implement some parts of my RFC number 01 there, in order to make kernel really modular. The local APIC of cpu will be used (all 64-bit AMD and Intel CPU's do have it anyway). It may also turn out, that I will have to apply for Bounty #32 just by the way :)

Fantastic!
It would be nice if during this process you could migrate development to gcc 4 and get atleast the core compiling correctly with it ;P
hehe jk - im looking forward to your results with 64bitness
Michal Schulz...It is nice seeing someone else interested in overclocking amd cpu enough to also make a blog on the subject. Your topic...64-bit world. Waiting for hardware. is exactly what I am spending my time investigating. Thanks.
like tumbler and tipsy days hopefully we will remain in high spirits. well, good day
My wife tells me that I have never grown-up. Well, I am not going to argue as long as I can still take apart and build computers.

Sweet Post,
I'll have to bookmark your site
I have a new site that focuses on Tech Reviews, RMA Reviews, and more.
You should check it out.
