oh, I have just been doing a little research, and I found out that 32-bit emulation can be avoided with the itanium processor. I had no idea that this was possible, but I guess they figured out a way. Also, the 64-bit version of windows xp has already been released, along with a new line of hewlett packard itanium computers(i think it was hp). This processor supports over 16 gigs of physical memory, and over 8 terabytes of virtual memory. This baby is top of the line, and will take care of just about any rendering that needs to be done. Be ready to empty your wallet, though, because you will have to buy new memory, a new motherboard, a new OS, the new processor, and I reccomend a huge fan or liquid cooling, because 64-bit processors run very hot at the moment.
