Hardware for such applications is sold by vendors who specialize in legacy tech, no one in their right mind should be trying to run a 5960X with 16GB RAM on a 32-bit OS...There is a reason windows is still released with a 32bit variant. A lot of businesses own software that will not work correctly with a 64bit OS. The company I work for has software from two large companies that is installed on about 1500 desktops that require 32bit to get full functionality. The software is for document control and the other title is for accounting. The business isn't interested in spending potentially millions of dollars to get the software fully supported in 64bit and frankly there isn't any reason yet.
