Why not get a dual-core x86_64 CPU? All the AMD dual-core chips are
64-bit and Intel's Core 2 Duo is 64-bit. Personally, I like AMD
better. There is really no reason to get a 32-bit only CPU anymore.
If you don't want to run 64-bit yet, you can still run 32-bit just
fine. And a 64-bit installation gives you the choice to run both.
