Software vendors and hardware vendors have always been in a game of
leap frog with one group jumping ahead of the other, then flip
flopping.

There is no good reason...yet, for most people to have a 64-bit system
for the simple fact there isn't that much FULLY supported hardware or
software to make it a practical choice UNLESS you only use your
computer for a very narrow focus and you know with a certainty
everything you'll ever use such a system for already has well tested
drivers and intelligently written software that fully takes advantage
of the hardware. If not, you're just wasting your money. Things will
change in time, we're not there yet.
