the big turnoff about the 64 is the talk that AMD is gonna be going to a totally different pin layout in early 2004. that means those that jump on the bandwagon early are probably gonna get forked when it comes to upgradability.
its not like im sellin my 2.4C @ 3.0 anytime soon....i'm waiting for intel's next few procs, prescott and p5 (if not teh same)
