    that I will notice once vista and applications that utilize 64bit come out? I've been reading alot of user testimony about dual core performance gains and it makes my p4 630 feel kinda dated already. Jus wondering if I have anything to really look forward to once 64 bit actually becomes usefull.

    londez, yes you will notice differences.

    This isn't fact, but I believe you will experience Vista running smoother compared to if you had a 32-bit processor once Vista comes out. You'll probably be able to utilize Vista's features a lot better than 32bit folks.

    Vista isn't due out yet for a while, so I guess us 32bit folks are okay.

    Cheers and don't worry your 64bit processor will come in handy soon,
    Mike
