The availability of 64 bit Terminal Services and/or Metaframe is only as useful as the applications available for it. Since TS and MF are all = about delivering GUI based apps, I have a feeling it may be quite a while = before a 64 bit version is available and practical.

When I spoke with product manager (Brian Nason) and the CTO (Bob Krueger) last October, neither would confirm 64-bit MF. They just said = that they would follow customer demand. (So demand it if you want it!!) I'm sure Citrix will release a 64-bit version of MF eventually, = especially once Intel releases their version of the Opterons next year... Just = don't hold your breath for it. On a side note, remember that whatever Bear Paw turns out to be will presumably also be available in 64-bit flavors.. :-) Brian Brian Madden brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1.202.302.3657 Visit www.brianmadden.com for in-depth Citrix, Terminal Server, and server-based computing news and analysis, white papers, downloadable = videos, and product reviews. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On = Behalf Of Schill, Mark Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 8:48 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Opteron processors We have an Opteron box in our lab that I have scheduled to do some tests = on.
