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.

You should try the new 10K WD drives (the ones
that just came out). They kick ***.
Unfortunately, I'd have to use FreeBSD 6 to use
them, so I have to stick with SCSI on 4.x to get
maximum performance.
