That's great that PC64's will be out at the same time... too bad as of yet Windows can not utilize the chip nor can most of your 90% worth of software. Here's a quote:
"Although Microsoft's endorsement is significant, AMD still faces an uphill road in this market and will have to convince hardware manufacturers, software developers and corporate customers to invest time and energy into using Hammer as a 64-bit chip. "
Plus even though Microsoft is supporting these chips they are tweaking a completely differnet version of the OS to do so.
Where Apple takes it is that the hardware and software work together, something PC peoples never seem to understand. Updated OS X and the soon to be Panter will support the chips as well as all the free apps that come with the system.

To end this PC/Mac thread (does it ever end???) to comment on the last post- I have to disagree. I have been using macs only for ten years- I only use a PC when forced or to help my mom cancel AOL. I get all my work done- I work in the design field- and I make good money. There has been nothing I need to do and was only able to do on a PC. And yes- being a geeky mac dude this makes me happy. I am a supporter but I am a designer first- when the time comes that I NEED a PC I will use one- but I never see that day coming since I have been told it will be coming for 10 years now. To each there own-
