software management and amd64

[Stephen Adler]

People,

Two questions.

1) What's a good intro book to software management? I'm working for
a company who's software effort is rather disorganized and those in
charge is basically hardware folk with no real appreciation for the
software development process. Anyway, I need to beef up on software
management concepts and a good intro book would be great.

2) Anyone have any experience with an AMD64 workstation with PC3200
memory? (Running linux of course.) I'm thinking of upgrading my home
workstation and thought it would be fun to go 64! What are the good
motherboards, who makes good memory, etc. (I usually build my own
desktop basically because I know no better...)

Thanks. Cheers.
