IBM says it thinks that personal computer users are now ready for the added
power of 64-bit computing. "This is a major milestone for all of us, and
for the industry too," said Chekib Akrout, vice president
of PowerPC development for IBM's Microelectronics Division.

"One of the main benefits of a 64-bit processor
is that it can process significantly more memory than a 32-bit processor.
Although 32-bit can manage 4G of memory, 64-bit can manage up to 18 billion
gigabytes of memory. With more data in memory, a 64-bit processor can work
faster because it doesn't have to swap large sets of information in and
out of memory the way a 32-bit processor does.
Hardware and software vendors say the more advanced processor offers substantial
improvements in the performance and precision of applications and calculations.
Because it supports a greater number of larger files, 64-bit computing has
increased scalability compared to 32-bit - particularly for large-scale
applications such as databases."

“Computer
users in general may not be aware that family PCs nowadays are based on
32-bit computing technology. With the upcoming 64-bit AMD Athlon™
processor planned to be introduced this year, computers using 64-bit operating
systems will then be able to run 64-bit software programs. Generally speaking,
a 64-bit computer system processes more data, supports larger memories (over
4GB) and accomplishes more work. In 2003 when both software and hardware
are ready to offer their support, the family computer is poised to enter
a new era of 64-bit computing.”

"The 64-bit technology is an evolutionary
leap in processor architecture that promises to open up new dimensions in
computing...The 64-bit architecture will double that capacity, akin to a
32-lane highway width being doubled."
