Wow, I hope not.

Unless you are separating out i386/i486 and such.

Many people refer to i386 as all 32bit x86 systems.

All platforms are going to be 64bits and memory of 4GB or more is
not so rare anymore. Allmost all AM2 MBs support already 16MB. Even
most professionals are not using SCSI anymore but Sata-II.

I disagree.

SATA (of any gen) still does not perform like SCSI. Let's just look
at spindle speed alone ignoring the other benefits of SCSI.

Now, I am not a lover of 32bit either, all of my new systems are amd64
(either Opteron or EM64T systems).
