Stinky's right. People don't buy 64-bit systems because they don't want to pay extra money for them, but if you were to ignore the fact that they are 64-bit you'd see that they are cheaper and faster than competing lines, such as the 32-bit Athlon XP (about 100 dollars more for the same speed rating, yet significantly less performance).

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
