lol, cute catchy name. But seriously let's think about this, what advances have there been in PC gaming since the first 3D game, Elite ? Nothing that I can see and I remember playing Elite in the 80s ! We might be getting some advances now with Direct X9 effects in upcoming Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 which will be when I upgrade my current faithful Voodoo 5 (to R420 probably) which is more than adequate for my needs with a 2430 Mhz Barton pushing it for any game its old drivers can successfully load.

Think also about first-person shooters and their maps. After you worked out where everything is in a map a game can get pretty boring. If 64bit allowed you maps which were so big that you could *never* know it all, this would introduce a level of depth that could really fire any game using it to the top-seller list and ignite games to a higher level of complexity. Only snag is AMD are dependant on Bill to pull his finger out and release Win XP64. What are all his army of Indian programmers doing anyway ?
