It'll be real until Intel releases a 4Ghz CPU with AMD64 "extensions".

Debian hasn't released the AMD64 port yet (troubles with dpkg and
biarch); how about Gentoo?

I bet it'll smoke on distributed.net.

After seeing all the viruses, trojan horses, worms and Reply 
mails from stupidly-configured anti-virus software that's been 
hurled upon the internet for the last 3 years, and the 
time/money that is spent protecting against said viruses, trojan 
horses & worms, I can only conclude that Microsoft is dangerous 
to the internet and American commerce, and it's software should 
be banned.
