Oh ok, thanks, this makes sense now.  I knew there was something like
that but wasn't sure if I was using it.  Yeah there's not terribly much
point.  The ratio of cpu cycles to ram is now small enough that if
you're doing anything performance intensive to care about x64
instructions, you probably also have enough memory to want a 64 bit OS.
