Will 64 bit Processing Improve summing? should I get into analog summing or wait for improvements that may come along with 64 bit processing?

I agree with InfiniteArchitect. More horsepower is of course a good thing. But basically all the programs will do the same thing as before.

Of course, some time in the future, there will be advances in algorithms that necessitates having this extra horsepower. But to put it a bit pointedly, things are pretty good today, so the difference will not be a revolution. (Well, not every application out there is good, but that is probably more due to "lazy" programmers than to actual need of 64 bits).
