I work in the database field, and 32 bit memory space is as annoying now as the 16 bit crap was back in the 1980's. The horrible kludge work arounds for (for example) memory mapped files larger than two gigabytes on Win32 is a real pest. I am looking forward to 64 bits with eager anticipation. While chess on 64 bits will be a pleasant side light, the real joy of it will be everything else.
