Did you find the 64 to be significantly faster than the 32 on a 64x2? I am 
impressed by the speed on my new 64x2 -- apps like konqy now open in about 2 
seconds and that old dog Firefox opens in under 10. 
I have heard from a friend that his experience with Winders 64 was that it was 
almost 50% faster than 32 on his AMD 64x2, so I am kinda keen to see what 
REAL speed is like. 
Heck, I seem to be strapped onto the hood of this monster and I wanna go for a 
little ride :)
