I have two questions for everyone (not just the person I'm responding to): How soon do you think we'll see laptops with the Dual Core Turion64? Elsewhere (perhaps on this list on a different topic) someone recommended not buying anything except for 64 bits (either AMD or Intel) from now on. Do you agree, in particular regarding laptops?
