And your point was?
Turion doesn't have _any_ advantage over the Pentium-M architecture except that its a 64bit processor which doesn't necessarily make it a faster processor. It definitely doesn't beat the Pentium-M on power savings either. And truthfully it doesn't matter to a desktop / notebook user whether his processor is 32-bit or 64-bit. I neither want nor can I afford hundreds and thousands of Gigabytes of RAM :). Besides that 64-bit drivers are hard to come by ;)
