even though apps will still run at 32 bit.  you will get many more users on
a 64bit box due to the higher addressable memory.  the penalty for this is
lots of print driver incompatibilities.   I build everything as 64 bit these
days and just deal wit hthe dirvers on a case by case basis.  it's getting
better and the universal driver can relieve most of it.
