[daip] AIPS on the x86_64.

[Omri Schwarz]

Good afternooon, 

I work in Linux support for the Center For Space Research, and I have an
AIPS related hardware purchase to decide on, so I thought I'd ask whether 
anyone has begun running AIPS on Opteron machines and whether the AIPS
code base makes enough use of 64 bit floating point operations to justify 
spending the extra money for a 64 bit processor. I'd be much obliged
if you had any information.

Regards,
