    are 64 bit programs designed specifically for p4 em64t or Athlon 64 processors?

    Here is quote from an interview on the 64 bit patch for halflife 2

    "Bringing the Source technology to the AMD64 processor platform is an important step in the evolution of our game content and tools,"
    -Gabe Newell

    So does this mean that the patch will not work for those of us with p4 em64t processors?

    The patch will work for any 64-bit processor, including the P4 em64t you mentioned.
    I think Gabe was referring to 64-bit processors in general rather than just the AMD 64.

    Intel basically borrowed EM64T from AMD64, so they are compatible.
