I doubt CL is looking into A64. A few years ago a CL tech told us that there was something with AMDs... people been buying them because they were cheap but a lot of people were complaining about problems with AMD & Poser. He strongly recommend us going with Intel. But as with P5, most of its problem was related to bad codes and bugs and hence, several service releases. As a programmer, I would have broken down P5 into several apps... such as a Render Studio, Poser Room, Face Salon, Clothes Factory and so on. That way, one bug won't affect other parts of the application. Adding 64bit extension would be cheaper, easier and faster than rewriting the entire application. I don't think CL can commit to such a task at this time.... it's just a feeling. A lot of people in high places don't give AMD credit and it's kind of shuned (as in Dell) but if we look at the history of Gateway computers.... A few years back when people were buying lots of PCs, Dell got a huge surplus. However, there wasn't much left for the likes of Gateway.... who said "Never Again" and added AMD to its roster big time (just in case). Later on, Gateway wanted to cut cost and make a profit and dropped AMD totally (it's always cheaper to build one motherboard than two). With AMD gone, Gateway still didn't fair any better and decided to buy a smaller PC company that was making a lot more money than they were doing. Envy? This company is called eMachine who by the way, bet on AMD and was doing surpisingly well with their premiere Athlon64 machines! In fact, a few weeks ago I asked emachine about a A64 3200+ laptop and why we couldn't get their latest model. The company replied that they realize their products are in high demand when they just can't keep them in stock.
