Sweet!

All I can say..AMD 64x2, bye bye Intel. :-)

Won't happen

But I still would buy an AMD over Intel any time. Even for a notebook. No, I don't want to hear anything about a PowerBook.

Typo

"standard Athlon 64s (which top out at $64)"

That's pretty cheap :p

Wish typo was true!

Price corrected

You're right. The $64 price was too low - it's actually $643.

I'm confused

I thought that the AMD DCs were better than the Intel ones. But it seems largly the same with separate cache. All that is shared is the memory controller, and I don't see that as an advantage.
