I think the switchover will happen fairly rapidly, since it is
positioned "the upgrade you get next time you buy a new computer",
similar to the current PATA->SATA switchover.
Since these CPUs run in 32-bit mode just fine, I bet you wind up with
people running Intel or AMD 64-bit CPUs long they abandon their 32-bit
OS. I recall people often purchasing gigabit ethernet cards long before
they had a gigabit switch, simply because it was the volume technology
that was being at the time. I think the same thing is going to happen
here, with AMD64 and EM64T.
AMD got a lot of things right with this one...
