My apologies for starting such a controversial thread!  :)

Right now there are two versions of Windows XP 64bit, one for the Itanium 
and one for extended systems such as the Opeteron and AMD64.  I'm pretty 
sure I asked for a 64bit compile of POV for Windows XP 64bit for extended 
systems.  I didn't make my request specific enough for some of you, and 
again I apologize for that.

I'm really happy to see the reports of the Linux builds, and the apparent 
speed up that results.  I am thinking about replacing my Windows XP 64bit 
install with Mandrake 64bit, to take advantage of the successful compiles 
by Matthias, but there are even fewer drivers for my hardware available on 
Linux than there are on Windows XP 64bit at the moment.  <sigh>

I'm hoping someone will try a Windows XP 64bit for extended systems compile 
some time soon. I'll happily use my machine for testing new compiles!  :)
