The 64-bit mode isn’t enabled, though, and the foundation will investigate over the next few months whether there is value in enabling it.

One of these days someone will get the bright idea to incorporate at least two notebook RAM slots, and everything will take off from there me thinks. But without that, not many advantages having 64-bit CPU support.

Yes. AFAICT, a device with lower clock and a limited capacity in RAM is certainly more favorable. I just wish Linux embedded manufacturers will come up with such RAM slots for end users to add more RAM.
