Whilst 64 bit may be - is- the way to go, consider the following.
By the time mainstream 64 bit apps and operating systems are there, your premium 64 bit machine will probably be obsolete.
Whilst agreeing that heaven lies in that direction, I would also suggest that there are some very good bargains to be had in the interim as a result. (After all, the first fully functional Win 95 was Win 98 SE)
What lifespan do you expect from a PC? I remember when we all thrilled at a Pentium 75...
Don't pay a premium!
