Yesterday I suggested that we ought to be watching for the next round of upgrades as 64-bit processing began to be widely deployed. It may hit sooner than we think. Microsoft said yesterday it will be supporting 64-bit technology with its new versions of Windows XP and Server 2003. The Opteron - AMD's 64-bit chip - is due for release in two weeks, just a few days before Server 2003. This is for early adopters only (trust me). But by this time next year, I would say, people will be talking about the mechanics of conversion. My three-year prediction for system-wide deployment stands.
