Dale, <But, the ability of Hammer to do the same thing with applications that are designed to utilize up to 36-bits of address space could encourage the development of more 36-bit applications.>

I don't think a single x86 application is able to address more than 32 bits, even if the OS is able to address more bits. This is what I'm getting at, that applications need to be recompiled and rewritten to take advantage of x86-64. Whether the OS is able to address 36, 48, or 64 bits is irrelevant.
