I myself am running and AMD cpu and its great. Nothing wrong with Intel too, just a little bit more expensive. I've read on some computer mags that for the best bang for the buck, AMD is the way to go.
Novell offers a 64-bit version of Linux and presently, Microsoft offers a free, very early beta, 64-bit version of Windows.
You just know that the final release Win64 is going to be compatible with both AMD and Intel 64-bit processors.

Biggest question remains
What other then Operation Systems will be availble for 64 bit.
while gamers will jump on it. What task related software is available and at what increased costs?

I've been using AMD chips in 3 of my last 4 computers. I think that they're better performance and value than Intel's. The Athlon64 has the added advantage of being 64 bit compatible when 64 bit software starts to hit the market. IMHO, the Athlon64 is the way to go.
Freakshow, if posible, specify a 939 pin motherboard and dual channel memory.

Why don't you just pick up a copy of 'The Hub' and compare what the various stores would charge? That would seem a more sensible approach than asking us what we think any particular configuration would be worth.

'The Hub' is a free publication and successor to 'The Computer Paper' and 'Toronto Computes'. Usually it's to be found at computer stores and internet cafes. It contains lots of advertising.
There's also a website: www.hubcanada.ca
