That link takes me to this incredibly blank page. Ironically, the blank page lists the benefits of a 64-bit Celery!!!

Well *whenever* 64-bit *takes off* it will be compatible with current software, i guess that is what's driving 64-bit celeron, not really performance. It also is a good selling point, to idiots. Much like....me !@

i bet you intel will be like "Our Celeron 64 2.8GHz has the same clock speed as the FX-57, at $800 less!!"

And then the Dell commercials :

"Take advantage of brand new 64-bit processing with the 2.8GHz Celeron 64"

meh...this is jsut reverse marketing. We should all understand by now that when this happens it is because it usually easier for them to stick to one core and add features as necessary.

They will prabaly jsut be nuttered TEM64T P4's
