"The immense popularity of sites like YouTube has unexpectedly turned Flash Video into one of the de facto standards for Internet video. The proliferation of sites using FLV has been a boon for remix culture, as creators made their own versions of posted videos. And thus far there has been no widespread DRM standard for Flash or Flash Video formats; indeed, most sites that use these formats simply serve standalone, unencrypted files via ordinary web servers. Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software."

It is true that 64-bit pointers allow access beyond 4Gig, however, another benefit of the 64-bit architecture is that it allows usage of 64-bit general purpose registers... and it has twice as many of them. Your compiler has 16 registers available instead of 8 and the numbers it puts in them can be twice as many bits.
