    Microsoft has plans to deliver a 64-bit version of its Windows XP operating system for Athlon 64 desktops. Once that software is available, consumers will be able to make the step up to 64 bits.

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

    There was a slight typo in the article description. I corrected it.

    Don't the /. editors have a spell check?

    eMachines are poo.. Athlon64 is good..

    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
