But not until then, apparently. Aw, shucks. Too bad there aren't any 64 bit operating systems out there now . . .

/. editors have a spell check?
There was a slight typo in the article description. I corrected it.

Lets See, the President of Pixar is who again? Hmm.. Right, Steve Jobs.. Yeah.
Imagine what Pixar , etc will be able to do with an array of 64-bit emachines.
I dunno, berate them? Taunt them? Buy expensive targets for nerf fights?
This will never sell. Intel, which is the world leader in 64 bit computing, has declared that no one will want to buy a 64 bit desktop for at least another 3 or 4 years, when a cheap Itanium finally goes into production.
"can run a hellofalot more software"
In theory. When the emachines crashes and refuses to start up again, that's where you have your problem.

"Can the mac run windows?"
"Um..."
"I'll take the rock"
Etiquette is etiquette. He kills his mother but he can't wear grey trousers.
Because, you know, when I think of 64-bit computing, I think of eMachines!

They're giving you a 1000 times as much as you need and you're still complaining. Some people are never satisfied.
Yeah your right! $1299 is to expensive. If you want to burn money, why not burn $2000, and get that exclusive one-button mouse.
Actually, for geeks this is an easy decision.
poo = 0
good = 1
Therefore, eMachines = 0 and Athlon64 = 1
Since you are getting both of them, logically you have to AND them.
(1 AND 0) = 0 = poo
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Here's an old headline I keep around, just to remind me to be nice when I see stuff (original thread subject) pop up:
DIGITAL CORNERS NT 64-BIT MARKET - THANKS TO INTEL
As the release of Intel's 64-bit P7 processor release has been put off
until 1999, Microsoft has announced that it will not wait for the P7
release to begin shipping 64-bit Windows NT 5.0. Instead, the first
64-bit version of 5.0 will run on Digital's Alpha platform, which is
already 64-bit, and currently has the fastest chip available: 533MHz.
Rumor has it that Microsoft is buying up quite a few DEC Alpha 500MHz
machines for its development staff.
Digital is further preparing for the 5.0 release by slashing prices on
new Alpha systems, taking full advantage on its two-year head start on
Intel."
grrrr...
You put Windows back on there?! Some friend you are.
Porn and tons of it!
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
I cheap unreliable computer that will burn it's self out in 6 months. I would perfer getting a sweater I would never wear then getting an emachine and trying to support it/ keep it running.
