Intel had set the prices for its Pentium 4 processors with enabled Extended Memory 64 Technology, X-bit labs has learnt. Apparently, the chips will not be more expensive compared to the products with no 64-bit capability.
Starting from August 1, 2004 for $278
Intel Pentium 4 processors with 64-bit registers will officially start to be sold on the 1st of August, 2004, at speed-bins and price-points equal to the ordinary desktop Pentium 4 chips.

*** Good news. That means there should be plenty EM64T enabled chips available for the back to school rush, and also leading up to Christmas. That's allot sooner then I thought that EM64T would be introduced. The sooner the better IMO.
