lol which is why it's always silly to upgrade to a new platform as soon as it comes out. Waiting a few months means you'll get a far faster chip for the same price.:beer:

Ouch! I still don't think given the reviews I've read that I'd pay the extra $55 over what I spent on the 3000+ just for the extra cache though.

If you plan to run any 64-bit code on it you should. 64-bit code is inherently more bulky, which will require more cache to keep the RAM hits down.

MS is just doing Betas and they do not seem to be in a hurry to get out a final. Linux people claim there is a Linux version that runs in 64bit mode, but I haven't run across it.
