The tale of the 4GB Ram and Windows Vista 64-bit

Adrian over at ZDNET says that the key for consumers moving into 64-bit platform is by breaking the 4GB RAM barrier. Currently, Windows Vista 32-bit version can only read 3GB of RAM and the only way you could utilize a 4GB of RAM is by moving to 64-bit versions.

Software and applications would be the key for consumers to want more RAM. I believe that business applications would not be asking for more RAM in the near future but computer games would be and the release of more high-end games like Halo 2 or Starcraft 2 might prompt consumers to save money for a 64-bit machine.
