@ Elektro

What would be the advantages for the average user running a 64-bit OS then?

@ Elektro

Do you know the advantages of a fully 32-bit system?

Horses for courses.  You need to know why you're asking for something like that.  And we don't have a 64-bit CPU, so to want one there should be some sound technical reasons.  And no, speed is not necessarily one of them.

@ Dammy

I was talking "in theory".

@ general murmourings of 64-bit AmigaOS

If OS4 is released in early 2004, I'd guess another 3 years after that before we see 64-bit AmigaOS.  And then you guys will be complaining that it only runs on the old and crappy PPC 970.
