Tell me, are you just really trying to use up what time you have
before Intel releases its 64 line? Or is it you believe that Intel
won't enter the market? R&D costs a bunch, letting amd 'Take the
point' for once, is IMO, good marketing strategy( let alone the
increased practicality in waiting for 64bit software). Let them get
wounded. ! beta OS or linux....WOW!!!!! sounds like fun....?

Who cares if the Intel chips are faster in some benchmarks? The
results are
so close, but the AMD's can run 64-bit software, which the Intel's
cannot.
Many are already running 64-bit software - either Linux or beta
Windows64.
Why buy a chip that only supports 32bit, for the same price as one
that does
32&64 well.
Also Windows XP SP2 has enhanced AV capabilities with the AMD64
chips...
