It's a 64bit cpu. That's reason enough to buy one if you need real power.

Explain exactly how a 64 bit CPU is 'more powerful'.

Now let me think... I wonder why we're not still using 8bit 8088 cpu's.:-)
Data reads of 8bit cpu=1 byte per read.
Data reads of 32bit cpu=4 bytes per read.
Data reads of 64bit cpu=8 bytes per read.
Next compare register size, etc., etc, etc.

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.:-)

That's what *I* call wishful thinking!

Not really. It's a proven fact. That would equate to about a 3600+.
