hello

I am trying to built a computer for a friend.
He wants it to last for a while (about 10 years). From this we came to
the problem of, how long will software for a 32bit cpu be developed? Or
are 64bit cpu's going to take over soon?

Also what is the difference between socket 754 and socket 939 athlon 64?

What are peoples thought on this. Should we go for a cheaper 32bit cpu
or a 64bit one?

cheers
Ryan
