Short of something seriously antique? In computer architecture, 64-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are at most 64 bits (8 octets) wide. Also, 64-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 64-bit CPUs have existed in supercomputers since the 1960s and in RISC-based workstations and servers since the early 1990s. Currently, most commercial x86 software is compiled into 32-bit code, not 64-bit code, so it does not take advantage of the larger 64-bit address space or wider 64-bit registers and data paths on x86 processors, or the additional registers in 64-bit mode.	pctek (84)

Except those stuck with PCs from toaster shops, pre-installed with 32bit O/Ss. The main reason (for the general user) is to take advantage of 4GB or more of RAM which 32bit O/Ss can't use.	pctek (84)
