When will the 64 bit machines be the new standard?.

[Baulucky]

I upped the memory in my old clunker and bought a crappy video card to run a second monitor a few weeks ago. I'm delaying my new box purchase waiting for the AMD64's and equivalent machines. I read that Windows-XP for the 64 is already beta testing.

IMO and FWIW I think Dell is just dumping all the old hardware in the market to clear stocks in anticipation of the new NEW THING. I expect the prices for pentiums to go near zero soon, much like the 2001FPs...

When will they come out with 64s?. I swear my other 4 monitors in their boxes are starting to get desperate...not that I'm looking forward to play so many tables anyway...
