I have been looking at the Athlon 64 and it seems like a very good, fast

this thing stack up when running 64 bit apps. Oh yeah, what 64 bit apps
are there?


It's faster than the competition. (What competition ? )

There's a beta of windows64, ATI has released some drivers for their
video cards, and there are some games supposedly on the way, and then
there's suse 64bit linux.

There are several 64-bit Linux distros available for x86-64 or the
soon to arrive Intel "equivalent" (minus fast memory).
