Yeah, kinda embarrassed about that, I really need to pay attention to both sides of the field there... anyway, you must also keep in mind that Intel owns a very large percentage of the commercial processor market, and it would be very advantageous for Microsoft to initially release x64 for Intel's 64-bit processors versus AMD's 64-bit processors.

The upgrade! My machine will soon be a 939 X2 4000+, 4x512 DDR400, and an 8600GTS.
