That is the truth!
Other than 64 bit Solitaire , there is not much good for this until , say, 2008. Either way, people will buy because 64 is a bigger number than 32.

The rhetoric around memory addressing is also a joke. Today's 32bit CPU's can support 4GB of sys memory which cost thousands of dollars. Oh goodie, now I can buy a system with 8GBytes of sys memory for $12,000 when Best Buy has it on sale!
