Still, about 99.9% of computers do not have enough memory to take advantage
of 64 bits. And, even if they did, there would be no applications that need it. Yes, it is a chicken and egg thing, but, given VIA's low market share and niche product lines, they were smart to wait on 64 bits. They have a small fraction of the R&D of even AMD. They must focus on the low cost, low power niche, anything else would be a disaster for them.
