I read a good article about the problem Intel is having with the 64-bit
Itanium. I think there are some good leasons in the article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/29/technology/circuits/29CHIP.html
There is also a Slashdot discussion about the article:

Also, here is an article describing the x86 4MB page sizes used by the
Linux TLB code:
http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/May96/May96.html
x86 usually uses two levels of directory/page tables, while the 4MB
version uses only the page directory.
