So how about those 64-bit Pentium 4's?

[rolo]

So the Pentium 4 "F" chips are available that support 64-bit ... you can buy a single processor workstation from Dell right now with one of them. In fact, one of my coworkers has one of them that he uses for testing purposes.

But the real question is, where can I buy just the chip? Can't find it on newegg or anywhere!

At that catalog link at dell they list a Xeon with Intel's 64 bit memory addressing technology, is that what you're talking about?

No, it's a Pentium 4, not a Xeon. Everybody knows about the Xeons

See, this is where Dell has them ... http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=555&oc=WS370MTPAD&m_11=XPP2E&m_1=328T1&c=us&l=en&s=biz

That's pretty crazy, it seems unusual that we'd see them first and hear about them first from Dell...

Don't see why not seeing how Intel and Dell are in bed with one another.
