Default Actually, it was the DEC Alpha workstation running Windows NT and OSF/1 back in 1993...
i had one running at 160Mhz when the fastest Intel chip was 66Mhz going on 90 Mhz.

Default Could you even consider Apple a mainstream consumer box?
Yes, Apple sells more then Dec did but Apple:PC is probably equal to Sun:Apple and slowaris has been 64 bit for a while too.
