I was thinking along those lines as well, but then the money starts to 
kick in.  The dual core Pentium is a much lower price than the dual 
AMD64.  By the time the software is truly ready to go 64-bit, I think 
I'd be better off buying a system at that point.

Maybe they'll be selling quads by then :)
