Folks finally embracing 64-bit Windows. Looking for your local retailer to start carrying 64-bit OS-equipped desktops for the most part for the back-to-school sales:

Also look for more stability in running Windows and other 64-bit applications, as long as you have over 4 gigs of memory of course.

Many manufacturers are also throwing in their support; Gateway will be transitioning its entire desktop line to 64-bit in time for the back-to-school shopping season. To put this in perspective, in its first quarter, only 5 percent of Gateway's notebooks and desktops were 64-bit. In its third quarter, a whopping 95 percent of desktops will be 64-bit and 30 percent of notebooks will be. |
