Intel Architecture for Year 2000 and beyond
Intel has been developing the IA-64 processor family to meet the emerging demands of e-business.
Building on the broad support and remarkable value of the IA-32 server platform, IA-64 is
positioned to help your business excel at the hard work of e-Business. A native 64-bit version of
Microsoft Windows 2000 is being developed for IA-64.
Through the deployment of worldwide Application Solution Centers (ASCs) of which Compaq has
one in Littleton, MA, - Intel is helping improve the development efforts of hardware and software
vendors. These ASCs provide vendors with an opportunity to port, test and tune their software in a
state-of-the-art environment. These managed facilities ensure timely and effective joint
development of advanced solutions for the IA -64 platform.
