Having it in hardware does no good without support from the software and OS.

You keep saying this, like some kind of self-help mantra. Never mind the 386. Never mind that people buy things all the time because of features they will never use. And, among the more saavy and sober buyers, assurances of future support from leading software companies is enough to give value to the 64bit capability. It's silly to say that 64bit has zero value until the day Win64 comes out, then suddenly it will worth something. For alot of people, it's enough to know that Win64 will come out, many don't even need that.

And, has been noted many times, the server side has had good 64 support for a while now...
