D3:They said the same thing before every other wider band width O/S was introduced. Actually once we get rid of the last mile bottle neck all of these questions over of over performance and overcapacity will be ended. JFD

Dan, Re: "What percentage of users will be able to detect the difference between a 1.2GHZ Celeron with a high speed connection the internet and anything else that's faster?

Now, tell me which chip you'd buy if Intel's current offerings consisted of 64-bit Yamhill and 32-bit banias and both had about the same actual performance and about the same cost."

Interesting how you've completely changed your stance from "performance is everything" to "it's just about marketing". Or maybe it's a little of both, and marketing can show SuperPI results to sell more 64-bit processors?

Not likely, but I guess your point is that if everything else were equal, people would choose the 64-bit chip over the 32-bit chip.

The problem with that argument is that it's too academic. Nothing in this industry is ever equal.
