My point is that it's not extra cost with a Mac. All of the Mac desktop
G5s are 64 bit.

Yes? And your point is? You can also get 64 bit pc's right now. The
problem I mentioned is the that hardware right now is ahead of the
software. That will change within a year. My comment was that in two
years 32 bit machines will be obsolete (AMD has no plans to continue
production after mid '05), but right now, today, they are not worth
the extra cost, so anyone who is in the current market needs to decide
whether they are going to keep the machine for awhile (buy a 64 bit),
or will upgrade again in a couple or years (save money by buying a 32
bit system). That applies whether you use Mac's or PC's. If you run
Linux most of the software can be recompiled as 64 bit so there is no
real reason (except money) to hold back.
