Can anybody inform me if the Opteron CPUs can comply with this spec ? If yes is there anything that documents this ? Thanks a lot.

I think the Opteron is the closest you're going to get to a 64-bit CISC CPU. There is no such thing as a true microencoded 64-bit CISC CPU but the Opteron's AMD64 is based on the CISC x86 instruction set. So, it should bit the bill. ------------------------- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (Manchester) 2.2GHz, DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, 1GB Corsair XMS DDR400 Dual Channel, 80GB WD Caviar SE SATA, 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 SATA, NEC 4550A, Radeon X800GTO 128MB DDR, M-Audio Audiophile 2496, Tagan TG480-U01.

I suppose that Intel EM64 is out of the question for the case isn't it ?

Intel EM64T will be fine as it's basically the same thing. ------------------------- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (Manchester) 2.2GHz, DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, 1GB Corsair XMS DDR400 Dual Channel, 80GB WD Caviar SE SATA, 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 SATA, NEC 4550A, Radeon X800GTO 128MB DDR, M-Audio Audiophile 2496, Tagan TG480-U01.
