anyone knows the RGB code for British racing green...?

Why are both Intel and Micrsoft delaying their releases of the 64 bit technology? Microsoft has a beta version available and Intel has a server based chip... and its been like this for almost a half a year, while AMD,with the opteron, has had a working 64-bit chip out for almost a year.

Furthermore Microsoft has released a SE2 eddition of the XP version suggesting that a final launch of the 64 bit platform will not be for at least a half a year. Can anyone explain this to me? I find it fasinating as this is a first.

The semiconductor industry has almost frozen the last two years @ roughly 2,5 - 3,5 ghz. Are they waiting for complementaries or what?

Please if anyone can enlighten me i will buy him/her a beer when i get back in 3 weeks time.
