64bit UT2K3 Running on Linux -- 10:46 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

VR-Zone got word of a demo of a 64-bit version Unreal Tournament 2003 running on AMD's Athlon 64 (aka Hammer) CPU and NVIDIA's GeForce FX. The OS? Linux! How about that? 64-bit PC gaming makes its debut with penguin power. Thanks Linux Games. Blue's News also posted the official press release from AMD and Epic.

The Master comments: Having had a chance to review the specs for AMDs x86-64 architecture from the developers guides, I was quite impressed by what I saw of the extensions to the x86 architecture, but I'm kind of shocked by the changes they made. A lot of things run VERY differently under 64-bit mode, and a lot of stuff was changed to make room for the extensions made. It will be good to see what kind of real-world performance we will see out of this architecture.
