Saturn 5,

From personal experience 64 bit address space is needed right now in EDA industry. There are very few EDA tools which have 64 bit address space. Most EDA tool vendors are trying to port to 64 bits.
Other applications I can think of which need 64 bit address space is graphics applications. Any scientific application will eventually need the 64bit address space, e.g. simulations (flight,sub atomic energy models, weather data processing, etc). One of the least addressed usage is fault tolerance computing. Currently this excess addressing capability is not harnessed into more fault tolerant computing. System architects will be able to think of ways exploit this. All the databases will have to move to 64 bits address space.

I know a lot of people will say that the above listed applications don't need 64 bits address space. In my opinion 64 bits will be needed in future if not now.
