What do you use for an Opteron compiler?
Honest question, as I haven't looked into it yet. I know there's an Intel optimized compiler for 64-bit.

There a bunch of optimizations...
In the GNU Libraries and GCC (64)
Word on the Street is that Intel's compiler actually works better on the Opteron... and compiles stuff that works faster on the Opteron.
Interesting, very interesting...

otherwise known as fsckthepeoplerus :)
and everywhere the great Curse of the New World, the American Child, in all its raucous, spoiled, undiciplined, selfish ghastliness, the female specimens keeping up an incessant high-pitched whine and the male infants racketing like cowpokes on payday. There's nothing wrong with grown Americans, by and large you wont find heartier men or bonnier women anywhere, but the only remedy I can see for the children is to run Herod for President.
