We are trying to put together a web page on opterons and Amber, which should
show up soon at http://amber.scripps.edu. But I should point out that
"full use of the 64-bit computing for Amber" is pretty much a non-issue
for most users. Most functions in Amber have a pretty samll footprint, and
do not require (or benefit from) a 64-bit address space.

...good luck...dac
