It seems it will be a very good processor but will it be 64bit capable?
I ask that because the intel core duo processors aren´t

i think its fairly obvious that it is, intel would not make a glaring mistake like that, 64-bit support is the new "must have" thing!

the current core duo is not but I think the next gen of cpu (ie the one in the review) is.

So looking at that site we can expect an ~8% increase (taken from their results over all games tested) for conroe over FX-62.
Sweet. I would love to get that rig and watercool and overclock conroe.
Ive read somewhere that these babies have smashed the 1M Super Pi WR to less than 10 seconds now

Look closely at the CPU-Z screenshot. Says EM64T at the end.
