First look - AMD phenom quad core

About a year ago we bought an Intel Core2 Quad box that's been running our company website.

Last week I finally got around to upgrading my personal workstation and bought an AMD Phenom 9500, quad core 64 bit processor.

My first impression is wow! It always amazes me what kind of computing power you can take off the shelf. While I was doing the research for this purchase, I became absolutely astonished when I realized that Intel is still selling 32 bit chips and no one seems to care!
