If you look at the BSD stats site on the CPU stats page (http://www.bsdstats.org/cpus.php), you'll see that the Athlon 64 is currently the most popular processor listed by far. We need to make nVidia acutely aware of this situation and urge them to give a higher priority to developing and releasing a driver for this platform. It is *long* overdue now.
