Erm, 64-bit REQUIRED for content development, I can see the next
version of UT having a lot less user-developed maps etc. being
available. Shame really, love the product, just can't afford to
spend that kind of money for the ability to make my own maps, guess
I'll have to switch to quake III or whatever :(

Just like walking or cycling to your work instead of taking your
car...

improving algorithms is a good thing. write good code, do not use
brute force and force us to upgrade
i think the best code will come from pda software and when pda's get
stronger their efficent software will get more capable and then they
will take over the world!!

8 bits is best, 64 bits is just too big. 00100100.

Well, better just hope the rumors of nVidia striking a deal with
Valve are false, for all you ATi fans out there.

I doubt Epic's intention for releasing a 64 version of UT2K3 really
has all that much to do with sales in the short run. I think it has
more to do with proof of concept; that Epic's Engine will run on the
64 bit Operton/Hammer architecture and that it can benefit from it.
Id software released Quake III for Linux more as a proof that games
could run well on Linux more than for sales. Also the Unreal engine
will probably be used for years to come on other games much as Id's
Q3A engine has. Those future games could theoretically benefit very
much from a 64 bit architecture.

Not just that, but what about major e-commerce sites etc, who now
have a better choice for their databse/back-end servers?
I'd love to see a cost-analysis on a site like Amazon.com using
opterons in their operation vs. expensive intel/sparc machines etc.
HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

I don't think that they will really sell many copies of UT2K3 64-bit
version. The game will be a year old by the time we see 64-bit
chips. By that time you will have the game or you will not. Also
with computers being faster all the time you probably wouldn't see
that much of a diffrence.

Not that different from Intel's own words on Itanium, which is for
"big tin", while us, mere users, can live with 32 bits
P4-like thingies for another decade.
Truth is they messed up the Itanium design big time. Even for 'big
tin', they don't seem to be selling it so well.

Truthfully though I see this as the begining of a major change for
personal computing as a whole.
