To you maybe, it _is_ a good point when it comes down to the actual purchase, but it does not belong in a theoretical discussion of 64 vs 32 bit. >If intel comes out with a P5 that runs your >program at 5Ghz and gets 2 million nodes a second, then you sure >buy that one if the alternative is a hammer which is 64 bits and >runs at 2Ghz and gets your program 1 million nodes a second. A) I'm guessing the P5 will be 4x as expensive as the Hammer by extrapolating the current price policy from Intel. B) If the P5 does as poorly as the P4, it will correspond to a 3.5 GHz K7. So the question is, do you want a Dual 2 GHz 64-bit Hammer or a 3.5 GHz K7? :) -S.
