Aside from accessing tera-byte files or data structures
the only other reason to have 64-bits is really BIG math =/
</confused>
Trust me, I fully understand why Operating Systems need to be 64-bits
or 128-bits -- However, why worry about 64-bit User-Land applications?
I say we can worry about them later when all User-Land is 64-bits and
OpSys and CPUs are 512-bits =)
(I remember my first 16-bit system -- I thought I was in heaven! and
a hard-drive! No more switching floppies for me... I did, however,
feel badly that the I/O bus, being only 8-bits had to make TWO trips
to get 16-bits...)
LOL =)
