Paul,

If you feed a 64 bit processor with only 64 bits of data - even at DDR rates of 266 MHz - you will STARVE the processor for memory - greatly limiting performance to that of 32 bit processors.

Not true. The L1 and L2 caches on the CPU handle more than 99% of memory accesses, making DDR266 adequate for any CPU we will see in the next few years.
