Silly questions from a lurker:

How much more or less current hardware is there which still is 32-bit?

More importantly, how much influence does the OS have on this? Can you 
make use of 64-bit features running on a 32-bit OS running on 64-bit 
hardware architectures?

Sorry for the stupid questions ...
