AMD now offers the AMD Opteron(TM) processors HE (55 watt)
and EE (30 watt) for servers and workstations. These Low-Power=20
processors will bring AMD64 technology to a broad range of=20
server, workstation and non-traditioal enterprise products.
+++The AMD Opteron processor HE (55 watt) offers industry-leading=20
performance per watt* making it an ideal solution for rack-dense=20
1U servers or blades in datacenter environments as well as cooler,=20
quieter workstation designs.=20
+++The AMD Opteron processor EE (30 watt) provides maximum=20
I/O bandwidth in a single-CPU controller making it a good fit for=20
embedded controllers in markets such as NAS and SAN.
AMD Opteron processors HE and EE continue to offer the=20
leading-edge performance of AMD64 technology and deliver=20
substantially lower power consumption for increased compute density.

Extended Systems <<<
*****************************************************************
Windows(R) XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems=20
provides high performance for both 32-bit and 64-bit=20
applications on the same system. The underlying architecture=20
is based on 64-bit extensions to the industry-standard x86=20
instruction set, allowing today's 32-bit applications to run=20
natively on 64-bit extended processors such as AMD Athlon 64.=20
At the same time, new 64-bit applications are executed in=20
64-bit mode, which processes more data per clock cycle,=20
allows greater access to memory, and speeds numeric calculations.=20
The end result is a platform that leverages the existing wealth=20
of 32-bit applications while also providing a smooth migration
path to 64-bit computing. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit=20
Extended Systems is currently under development, with delivery=20
scheduled expected for the second half of 2004.=20

Linux simple, fast, user friendly, reliable, powerful,
flexible and efficient. AMD64 technology allows a more
efficient memory access and doubles the number and the
size of processor registers. Furthermore, Mandrake
Linux
9.2 for AMD64 allows a perfect compatibility with all
32-bit applications. </p>
<p>Mandrake Linux 9.2 for AMD64 meets the needs of
advanced
users. More than a simple system only dedicated to
office,
multimedia and the Internet, it offers sophisticated
tools
such as personal server capabilities and development
tools.
It also suits perfectly data intensive applications.
</p>
<p>Let’s talk about speed and high-performance.
Mandrake
Linux 9.2 for AMD64 has been optimized to fully support
AMD 64-bit architecture providing a faster and more
efficient
system than a traditional 32-bit system. And take a
look
at the many other key benefits this system offers you
like:<br>
<br>
• <strong>Compatibility:</strong> The system is
fully compatible with all 32-bit applications. For
instance,
the demo version of CrossOverOffice works perfectly and
enables the use of Microsoft® Windows®
applications.
<br>
• <strong>Simple:</strong> The system is easy to
install and administer thanks to the automatic
installation
and all Mandrake Linux tools are easy to use. <br>
• <strong>User-Friendly:</strong> The Mandrake
Linux
environment is even more user-friendly with the latest
versions of the popular graphical interfaces KDE and
GNOME.

(55 watt) and EE (30 watt) for servers and
workstations.
These Low-Power processors will bring AMD64 technology
to a broad range of server, workstation and
non-traditional
enterprise products.<br>
<br>
• The AMD Opteron processor HE (55 watt) offers
industry-leading performance per watt* making it an
ideal
solution for rack-dense 1U servers or blades in
datacenter
environments as well as cooler, quieter workstation
designs.
<br>
• The AMD Opteron processor EE (30 watt) provides
maximum I/O bandwidth in a single-CPU controller making
it a good fit for embedded controllers in markets such
as NAS and SAN.<br>
<br>
AMD Opteron processors HE and EE continue to offer the
leading-edge performance of AMD64 technology and
deliver
substantially lower power consumption for increased
compute
density.</p>

<td><p>Windows® XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended
Systems provides high performance for both 32-bit and
64-bit applications on the same system. The underlying
architecture is based on 64-bit extensions to the
industry-standard
x86 instruction set, allowing today's 32-bit
applications
to run natively on 64-bit extended processors such as
AMD Athlon 64. At the same time, new 64-bit
applications
are executed in 64-bit mode, which processes more data
per clock cycle, allows greater access to memory, and
speeds numeric calculations. The end result is a
platform
that leverages the existing wealth of 32-bit
applications
while also providing a smooth migration path to 64-bit
computing. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit
Extended
Systems is currently under development, with delivery
scheduled expected for the second half of 2004. </p>
