TeamAROS Bounty: Port AROS To x86_64 Completed

[dammy]

Dr. Michal Schulz has once again completed another major TeamAROS Bounty, AROS x86_64 (aka AROS64).  Although this was a very limited port do to ground breaking new territory for AROS, AROS64 enjoys limited memory protection and grub loaded modules.  Future developement will include a brand new kernel as well as many new features.  

With AROS64 now in the AROS SVN, Dr. Schulz will begin building his core developer team that will port the rest of the AROS32 code to 64 bit.

Expect nightly builds to begin shortly and appear on aros.org.

Too bad it will only use half of my 5600+. Though that should be really impressivly fast any way.

Well, you could throw some cash at the problem and see if it evetually goes away so you can all of the 5.6 GHz CPU instead of only half.  :-D

AROS kernel will have full memory protection, it's just the rest of AROS can't handle it at the moment without breaking everything.

Edit: AROS64 is now available for nightly dowload.

Throw money at the problem, sounds like a goverment solution.

Though throwing money at has had some satisfaction now and then.

Besides, it will likely have to wait til more development is done and other higher priority issues are out of the way.

Don't bet the farm on that one.  :-D
