Solaris 10 What's New

64-bit Support on x86 Systems

This feature is new in the Solaris Express 11/04 release.

The Solaris 10 release contains support for the 64-bit computing capabilities of AMD64 and EM64T platforms. This support includes the ability to run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications in the 64-bit computing environment.

Note –

The Solaris 10 software already supports these platforms for 32-bit computing.
