From Dell's description of the powerEdge 1850: High performance for today and the future - Dual Xeon processors with EM64T support, teamed with DDR-2 Memory and PCI Express deliver outstanding performance for today's 32-bit applications as well as tomorrow's 64-bit applications.
So, yes, you got a 64 bit machine.
Does this not mean the the box *can* support 64-bit CPU's (in future) and that you can then run 64-bit apps (tomorrow), but today it is 32-bit?
The wording kind of sounds like you would be able to run 64-bit apps on it in the future.
Sounds like a lot of marketing mumbo-jumbo.
No. It is MSWindows perspective of the world. Through their distorted glasses (or windows) 64 bit software is still in the future... CFL
