I dont understand AMD's reason for the 64 but there sure wont be many
sold,kind of a pointless exercise.


It's a 64bit cpu. That's reason enough to buy one if you need real power.
Running 64bit apps, it'll blow away 32bit machines. Consider a 16bit cpu
(8086) compared to a 32bit cpu (386DX). And the platform will have more
room for expansion. This is the next generation.

The P4 2.4chas to be the buy of the century right now,hyperthreading,and
overclocks like crazy for about $170.


And I can beat it in most apps with a $43 AMD cpu overclocked to 2.4GHz.
Now that's what I call a buy.:-)
