| Quote : Investor’s Business Daily on Wednesday published an article quoting Intel public relations’ officers saying that the Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker has a working prototype of a 64-bit x86 design that it could bring to market “when customers request it.” |
Erm... Me! Me! Me! I request it! I want a 3.xGhz (or 4Ghz) Prescott with 64 bit extensions! Me! 
Who else is on board?
And as for them sleeping, I can't imagine Intel isn't prepared. They must have a contingency plan ready by now... My bet is that Prescott has those damned extensions.
So, really, really, the thing is:
<request>
Intel, I'm a Customer! Enable those extensions...
