AMD marketing cut the AMDme crap, start buying out centerfold ads in IT magazines and start yelling 64bit ready, or 64bit compliant, with Xeon's next to them as "OBSOLETE" or "non-64 bit ready/compliant".

To do this before 90nm is completely ready would be foolish. They are still shipping 5+ million non-64-bit Athlon XPs per quarter, and they need to keep shipping them until 90nm Athlon 64 can take over. So I agree with you, but not yet.

They've been doing this - back pages and inside front covers of Computerworld, Networking, etc.

And it's been working. If they hadn't done this, I don't think IBM would be shipping their products and I don't think HP would have, either.
