He said there wasnt enough programs out in the market that is supported by a 64bit OS, not that there wasnt enough drivers for hardware.

I know what he said...
The point is that he's wrong. There are compatability issues for Hardware and old OLD software, those are the ONLY reasons you wouldn't use 64-bit...
Yes a lot of programs are written to utilise 64-bit, but they run very well, in some cases better.

I never said they didn't run well. What i meant is that many developers aren't writing programs that are designed to be used in 64bit operating systems. While there are programs out there that will run on a 64bit system, the majority of end users still use the x86 instruction set so developers aren't bothering too much at the moment.
I think 64bit is great, and i don't have a problem with the idea of it. I'm just saying that if you really want 4GB of RAM, then you will just lose a bit of functionality because you can't use all the programs that will work on 32bit.

lol, but why, really, i mean its supposed to be for intense 3D graphics rendering (crysis doesnt count), used on a professional scale
cod4 4 times? try using 3D Mark Vantage
and for reference the final rig was (which i am currently using):
Intel E7500 2.93GHz
4Gb of DDR2 1066MHz RAM
nvidia GTX260
Antec 902
G15
1Tb WD HDD
LG OPTICAL DRIVE!!!!
G5
23' Samsung screen
650W Coolermaster PSU
all for under $2000
(and dont trust dell, they are the devil)

This makes me think you guys have no idea what you're talking about:
1) Lots of extra slots? Wtf? ALL ATX motherboards have "lots of extra slots"..It's basically standard.
2)Well, if you get a i7 capable mobo, then the only cpu you can get is an i7!
3)No it's not
4) Multiple 500gb's is a stupid idea...Unless you want to RAID. It'd be best to have a boot disk and then raid two 1TB hd's
5) 3.3ghz is pussy speed (coupled with a small manu. process)...It would require an aftermarket air cooler at most, worth approx. 59 dollars.
6) No it's not...You can get a mouse later.
Yeah, I can't think of a motherboard which will take 192GB. From what I've seen 16GB is the maximum (not sure about DDR3/i7 systems).
I agree. 192GB is overkill for individuals like me and you. But consider someone who uses 3D modelling software (lightwave for example) simultaneously with Photoshop while 3 movies are converting in the background, 192GB is still too much however 32GB isn't.

I still love how in theory 64-bit operating systems can get over 18 million Terabytes of Ram
