Will future AMD Opteron systems support the OBP, either in addition to, or instead of the BIOS?
Our current AMD Opteron processor-based systems use industry standard BIOS so that we can support a broad base of operating systems. In the future, we will continue to design our systems to support multiple operating systems, including Solaris OS, Linux, and Windows. Back to top Q: What Microsoft products (SP, 2003, etc.) can be loaded on the new AMD Opteron processor-based systems? A: We support Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 on our systems. Back to top Q: Will Sun make a special effort to make open-source multimedia editing tools available for the Solaris 10 operating system? A: We already support the broad range of open-source tools on Solaris OS that people commonly use on Linux. Also, the Solaris 10 OS will offer binary compatibility with Red Hat and SuSE applications so that you can run any application built for these environments. The Solaris 10 OS will also include drivers optimized for nVIDIA. Back to top Q: Will Sun provide a high-performance compiler for AMD Opteron technolog
