bit flash. This is a waste of development, a waste of die space,
and will hamper clock speed advances. This is bad for the

address space. 64-bit pointers provide the ability to provide

larger chunks of contiguous regions, or memory map files), have
native 64-bit processing which will improve performance in any
application that relies heavily
