The point is that the Athlon 64 FX-51 is the most powerful processor in the world right now and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it's 64-bit. If the price goes down, there is no reason not to buy one. Sure, nothing out there will use its 64-bit capabilities, but I know of more than a few applications that use processing speed and cache (cough games cough). I'll admit that they're simply way too expensive right now...but in the future, they'll be the new Athlon XPs, well before a 64-bit Windows is introduced.
