Oh, yes....64-bit OS, that is still on my list of purchases. It may not have a huge impact with most Bryce users (?), but it will have a large affect on my ZBrush, as it relies heavily on ram.

Also, Adobe's next version of Photoshop will be 64-bit enabled, and even with 4Gb of ram (windows 32-bit recognizes 3gb of it), I am running out of memory sometimes in Photoshop as I am recently working with some very huge images.

I made sure that the Gigabyte Motherboard I went with can;
-Take up to 16Gb of ram
-Supports Sata 3GP/s HDD's
-PCI express x16 2.0

So, even though right now I don't have all that ram, Sata 3's or an x16 2.0 video card, I can have room to keep upgrading. I'll probably also set up a raid as ZBrush users have stated that can really also help speed up the program.
