RE: "Another question is whether PC software writers will make 64 bit software until intel makes a 64 bit PC processor."

I think makers of software development platforms will add 64 bit compilers. etc., so the incremental cost of creating and testing a 64 bit version of existing software will be a modest effort. The performance gains and an available hardware platform should make it a profitable effort.
