OH really SEPHT so would you say then that alot of software right now takes advantage of 64 bit processors too??

omg.. Your not giving me NEARLY enough credit.
Im probably one of(if not the) biggest advocate of the current unuse of 64 bit. Its true advantages(on linux).. but I also nearly more then anyone understand the ADVANTAGES of the amd64.. of which 64bit computing is just a tiny bit.
Hypertransport- A cheap parrell bus that allows fast connection between the components of the system, allowing for more general system bandwith.
Fast FSB- I belive it was at 1.6ghz.....(dual quad.)
and the biggest effect on Gaming...
The Intergrated On CPU memory controller- allows pretty fast, efficent, orginized, and quick access of ram(nearly half that of the intels) that allows game performance in the weakest AMD64 to beat out THE BEST Intels.
also the fact that AMD's running much cooler.. with its SoI(or is it Sio.. one of the 2) technology.. while intels preschot is running crazy hot.
AMD also isn't pushing BTX because they really don't need the standard change.. intels procs however would burn up without a change soon.
AMD's move to .09 micron just helps promote how they keep going in improvements.
PCI-X Amd is also taking their time with.. tests have shown there is no performance increase in moving to PCI-X over AGP.. so AMD is bidding their time
EDIT: O and just because I thought the above was poorly written...(bad day)
how about this

hell its about 135% ram speed on that high end Intel.. yet it STILL does worse....
and some more on it:
AMD is much less expensive.... up to 1000 bucks for the high end P4.. 500 for the mid range.. 200 for the low end..
AMDs- 150-200 low end. 250-350 mid end.. 400-700 high end..
And uhh.. they don't even go into the low end P4s do they? those aren't even competition...
