>If the "64 bitness" of the hammers is any where near as much of a marketing benefit as the "32 bitness" of the 386 was, AMD may even gain the high-end desktop for real.<

While true, that is a very big if. To begin with, the major selling point of 386 over 286 was for years the power of virtual 86 and virtual 286 modes. What comparable utility does x86-64 offer? I look for x86-64 to remain virtually unused until K9 ships.
