Re: I don't believe that everybody wants to have 64 bit on the desktop right now... People were insisting on 32 bit desktop systems for years prior to the introduction of any 32 bit software that supported them. AMD will be offering a 64 bit desktop that will compete directly with Intel's 32 bit desktop. Intel will be marketing the power of its very expensive 64 bit servers while AMD is selling 100 times as many 64 bit units to high end desktop buyers. You are absolutely right that for most desktop users 64 bits is irrelevant. Consider that diamonds and cubic zirconium are identical for all practical purposes, yet people still pay a huge premium for diamonds over cubic zirconium. AMD will be marketing 64 bit diamonds against Intel's 32 bit cubic zirconium. If you think 2000 is a good year for AMD because its desktop processors are a speed grade or so ahead of Intel, wait until next year when it is selling 64 bit processors against 32 bit processors.
