Why can't intel come out with an affordable 64 bit processor? It is needed for Vista and people will be pretty mad if their new computer does not run vista!

Affordable, the Intel 820 supports em64t and is only $220 making it the most affordable dual core 64-bit processor availer by anyone.
Now why can not AMD do this?

There are a few 600 series cpus that are 64 bit compatible for sub-$200....

Not as inexpensive as, say, a Sempron 64/3000 at $69, but not an insurmountable obstacle, either...

Windows Vista will be coming out in x86/32bit edition too.

So "their new computer" will run Windows Vista just fine; 64 bit or not.
