Games will be among the first end user applications that really need > 
4GB. Commercial games currently released sometimes need 2 GB, it is a 
matter of time until it increases beyond 3GB, which is the limit for 
32-bit systems.

However, here the point is more moot than anywhere else, who cares about a 
few mb of exe for a game that requires gigabytes of memory and is often 
shipped on a 9GB dvd?! :)

And needless, to say, FPC is very well prepared for 64-bit.
