...not that 64-bit native support is all that critical, given that backward compatibility with 32-bit executables is pretty good provided you've got the 32-bit runtime installed.

Oh and $20... money very well spent for something of this quality. There's lots of crap out there for $60 that isn't as good.

Hmm, considering it runs in Linux I wonder if it could be included as a benchmark. I wouldn't mind being able to buy AMD hardware in Linux, but for whatver reason they just don't give the same love as Nvidia does here. A benchmark widely used might force AMD to fix the issues that have plaugued it for years. Performance of the Nvidia drivers between Win vs Lin are virtually identical.... not so with AMD they always lag a little bit by 10 FPS or so.
