Hey spencer, I am using an AMD64 laptop for audio work and I have to say its a lot of work and waiting to get things to work correctly right now. There really isint any cool advantages for audio yet but the hyperthreads in the FX chipset may make things run a little faster for doing audio/video stuff. Im not sure. The only thing I am sure of is that I am not running a realtime-preemptable kernel nor is the audio software that I use work compleately (PD), all because of 64-bit woes. Im still waiting... But then again its people like us that make the industry change, and I think there is a lot you COULD do with 64-bits, it just isint implemented in the processor yet. There isint any real reason for the PC industry not to eventually move to 64-bits except for conservitive beliefs that its not needed. -thewade
