How about you just wake up now, as you are obviously asleep at the wheel.

The software support already exists in this case. Totally diffrent than your silly gaming console example.

Even if 0% of the laptop market cares about 64bits, the fact that AMDs 64bit chips run the old 32 bit software means your Jaguar analogy is very faulty.

I imagine that more than 10% of the market already cares about 64bits but most of the market doesn't care very much yet. If everything else is equal 64bit is a selling point for well over 10% of the laptop market but it might not be a very big selling point for more than a few percent.

Or in other words more thant 10% of the market CARES about 64bits, but less than, perhaps much less than, 10% of the market REQUIRES 64bit computing.
