The 64-bit systems are already here ... Too bad that Apple doesn't offer a 64-bit OS to take advantage of them. Nor do they plan to for the foreseeable future. They use a crusty old 32-bit ABI, which kind of hoses them if they want to keep any semblance of binary backward compatibility between operating systems.
