Some programs that need lots of memory or lots of virtual memory work much better when they have access to a 64-bit address space. I probably will not even bother supporting 32-bit processors in my mapping program. The US streetmap database is 13 Gigs and I have little interest in writing the complex and error-prone code just to get around the 32-bit cpu's limitations. Lots of database applications have a similar problems. They either spend lots of efforts to squeeze a potentially large database into a small 4-Gig address space, or they limit the program to deal with < 4Gig databases. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
