Be careful with like terms between the PC(intel) world and the mainframe world. When someone says they have a 64-bit Intel server (Intel, Solaris, AMD, etc.), it does not mean that the server can access an address 64-bits long, the 64-bits refers to the width of the bus. So it can transfer 64-bits in parallel.

And, just for fun, Sun has implemented a 128-bit filesystem in Solaris! That means that a single filesystem can contain 2**128 bytes of data. Good heavens! I think that most UNIX filesystems are either 32 or 64 bit at present.
