The reason I don't bother with 64-bit is because of proprietary, closed-source 
add-on stuff that is reputedly a pain in the ass to get working on 64-bit.  
I've never even tried.  I really don't *need* 64-bit for anything, there's 
nothing tangible to gain, so why even take a chance on adding some new layer 
of irritation, just to say I'm using all my bits?  Bah.
