lol @ pros

I suppose they technically are, but they do leave you wishing.  Example: They have these funky ducts and monster heat sinks on the cpu with usually one big fan at the end of the duct.  The only other fan(s) on the machine is/are usually the PSU and sometimes the Graphics card.  I suppose it not a big deal, just less than ideal since it restricts your ability to customize/mod the machine.

eh, but if I start with pretty much what I want there is no need to customize/mod

Yeah, as these two have already mentioned, I don't recommend pivoting your entire purchace around the existance of 64 bit processors.  Incidentally, the last time I checked, Intel's 64 bit processors sucked.
mk, so just Pentium D?
Why?

Get a Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading.  Get a Pentium 4, with HyperThreading.  P4, HT.

This is what I told you yesterday.  I didn't say dual-core hadn't gone mainstream, I said the Intel Core Duo hadn't gone mainstream.  I also said that 64 bit wasn't yet mainstream.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.
