Overall, my PC performs better; I gues because it can now utilize all the the memory on the PC, whereas the 32 bit OS could not. And software compatibility wasn't a problem at all. Out of all the software I use, only one would not work on a 64 bit OS. And I easily found a comparable replacement that does.

People use that now...and have been since XP 64. Notice he talks about 8000 GB. That's because the 16 TB limit = 8GB user + 8GB kernel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDOf3IEr4FU Watch in some time, ppl will say..."128-bit? Maybe your great grandchildren". ;) No, not your grandchildren. People use that now…and have been since XP 64. Notice he talks about 8000 GB. That’s because the 16 TB limit = 8GB user + 8GB kernel.

With 2 gb you might never run out of memory. so i think it will take at least 10 years more to even consider a 64 bit OS for regular use. wow, really great article.
