Actually AMD has 100% market share in the segment you are talking about which is x86-64 aka AMD64 and intel which does not even have a processor for that market. It was forced to bring one out so that it does not upset Dell and HP which are both getting increasing pressure from their customers. I mean who (customers) really wants to spend their money on an architecture that is DOA (Itanic) and have to convert their Code over to see any advantaged (if any that is) when they can get in on a more scalable architecture which is cheaper and protects their current investments while being on performance parity!!!
I have one of these babies...they are awesome...beware of dodgy media though...one of them shattered in my drive...and it was an original...I had seen a very slight crack on the inside but never thought much of it but these drives spin so bloody fast so beware click link below to see the handywork...anyone else had any similar experience with these superfast drives?...Oh yeah, the drive was replaced so that was great....
