It was pretty amazing to enjoy 64 bit computing and before Intel had it. They were more popular in some niches, for a time, than anything else.

- GekkePrutser 5y agoYes Intel's attitude is too much based on marketing sometimes. "Consumers don't need 64-bit" (and trying to promote Itanium) "Consumers don't need ECC RAM" It holds back the industry now that they are the only PC platform. PS: I think Itanium was a really good idea but again marketing made it unviable. They wanted to position it purely for servers, just at a time where there was a real cost focus on servers using commodity hardware (e.g. from Google)
