This article tells us to start thinking seriously about software using 64-bit
words.  Chess engine programmers take note!

The article is generally upbeat.  However, PC World does say: "To take advantage
of 64-bit chips, you need a 64-bit-capable operating system, apps, and hardware
drivers. They won't emerge anytime soon."

When will Intel will start promoting 64-bit desktop PCs?
