And don't forget. AMD64 is here NOW!

There are relying on a quick release of Windows-64bit to help them get one over Intel. But MS have so far delayed the release of that Windows twice. What's the betting the delays will continue?

When the history books are written, what's the betting that they say AMD *should* have won this time, but were crucified by Microsoft who gave Intel too much time to catch up.

good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
