Pro's and con's of 64 bit chip?

What are the tangeble benifits of a 64 bit chip? I am super partial to AMD but I'm not really clear what 64 bits will and will not do for my computing experience. Are there any negatives?


Quiting smokings easy...I've done it a hundred times. M.T.

None, ALL code has to be rewritten for a pure 64bit chip, and we already use 32/64bit hybrids, SSE and 3dnow! are 64bit FPU extensions, there is no use for a 64bit chip, and its already been proven many of todays apps that have been ported to 64bit Cisc run slower.
