And I completely agree with that statement.

Sazar said:elemental.. you miss the big picture... its not an out and out 64bit processor.. its an x86-64 processor ie it does BOTH 32bit AND 64bit... and it does 32bit FASTER than todays regular 32bit processors...
so regardless of whether there are 64bit apps to take advantage of the architecture or not... the processors are simply faster than intel's offerings...

Time for me to reread hypertransport specs.
This has been a fun thread.
