Intel EM64T Technology Explained @ Hardware Secrets

It isn't a secret anymore.
"Intel has released their “64-bit technology” in order to compete with AMD’s 64-bit technology. This technology, officially called EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology), is present on Pentium 4 6xx models. In this article we will explain what is this technology and how it works."
Not sure how well you can really explain the ins and outs of 64-bit processors in 3 pages or less but they try. After reading it over one thing becomes very clear. (which most of us already knew)

You require a 64-bit OS and 64-bit programs to use the 64-bit extensions in both the Intel and AMD processors. There I said it. hheh
