This might be a dumb question, but are 64 bit prescotts out on the LGA775 platform? I'm just curious because I read that the 925 chipset is compatible with 64 bit processors. If this is the case would I be able to buy a 925 mobo and a LGA775 32 bit processor and later throw in a 64 bit LGA775 processor? Or the 64 bit processors need a different socket?

navicaph said:Why only Dell?
So far it is an OEM processor only (and may remain that way, we don't know) and it is a limited release.. Dell is Intel's biggest customer, so they always get everything first, I expect other OEMs to get them soon, and then after that, places like NewEgg will have them.. but still as OEM processors (not boxed)
OEM = original equiptment manufactuer.
