Agreed - and make them all 64bit while doing the cleanup. One thing
several Unixen have we don't for 32bi boxes is a proper set of 64bit
resource handling for memory/file etc.

We could also start using the CPU facilities to enforce some of
the really interesting real time process ones (like main memory
bandwidth) that at the moment we have no control over and can lead to
very unfair behaviour.
