rudedog, I don't see 64 bit flying on the desktop until there is Windows64 and Office 64 bit or other useful applications. File servers are slowed by the drives, no 64 bit advantage there. Running 32 bit applications on a 64bit cpu on an application server is no advantage. Now if some of these companies that are switching from Windows to Linux wants to look at AMD64, then I might get excited. Maybe amazon.com or one of the financial firms. I see little advantage AMD64 has over Intel 32, thus giving Intel plenty of time to FUD and catch up. Steve
