"Did you see the one about AMD offering 64bit addressing?"

Good point.

All the AMD64 machines come with less memory than a 32 bit CPU can directly address - typically 2 or 3 Gigabytes - So much for bringing the promise of large address space to the consumer.
Of course, there are no 64 bit OS or 64 bit application software to run on these 64-bit-in-name-only-CPUs, rendering the whole concept rather absurd at this point in time.

Maybe AMD should change their nomenclature to AMD64NOW!
