64 bit will eventually come around, but there is an infrastructure issue. new OS, new drivers, etc. Multi core is the wave of the future. Infrastructure is in place, games just need to be multithreaded. Then when 64 bit comes around too, pretty nice! I thought it was great to see some real world testing. Sevral new games are natively supporting multicore and some upcoming are requiring it! By next year I think we will find most games support multicore out of the box.
