"If a rendering or instruction set path is so important, why do people buy Core 2 processors? Those processors attempt to use an x86-64 instruction set known as EM64T yet they have limited support with actual x86-64 based applications. Why are people not jumping up and down suggesting to wait until EM64T has better support? I wonder if anyone else even knows that"
you mean that current 64 bit processors aren't really 64 bit? only the server processors are the real 64 bit processors?
I think he meant, that they are 64-bit processors, but the lack of 64-bit applications, is not making them effective as 64-bit processors.
