    ...of all the people who are going to run out and buy it, who REALLY needs that much juice? This'll just turn into another case of "I gotta have the latest greatest biggest baddest" whatever.

    Um, more cache helps every process on the system. 64 bits doesn't help anything on the desktop because right now no desktop application needs it. Even if it did, 64 bits would not help performance at all. So I would say that Pentium Extreme is much better than a 64 bit CPU, especially for the Pentium Extreme target market.
