I think it would be really cool to see RISC have a resurgence on desktops in the form of 64-bit ARM chips. ARM technology is getting better and better every day. One of these days x86-64 is going to be antiquated, and by then, imagine the possibilities! Thinner, more powerful convertible laptops, ultra-slim workstations, 20-hour battery life... The possibilities are endless.

It will happen. It better do as I'm an ARM Holdings shareholder.

It has happened before. I had a 32-bit ARM desktop once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes
