Good point Guy, when the desktop hardware matures for it, I
probly will go 64 bit cpu/cache/ram. In the meantime, marketing
gimicks of 66mhz (AGP) 2x, 4x and now 8x... and the real jokes, 66,
100, and 133, and serial ATA across the old 32 bit 33mhz PCI bus
are frauds. Still people like to believe 'em. It sells anyhow...
