1. The x86_64 drivers are still not as mature (debugged) as the ones
for the x86_32.  Testing volunteers wanted/needed.

2. For the home user there is not a "must have" application or feature
in x86-64 that makes it compelling to switch.

3. If you want everything to be 64-bit it will be much later. Because
of patent issues for multimedia that may be never.
