Another view of it: Let os say we need to address 2 32bit integers (next to each other). You cannot address both of them at the same time with a single instruction. You can do that with the 64bit architecture.

Oh yea I know, wolfe's earlier comment that the memory can be addressed faster just threw me off, I thought he was implying that any one given location could be addressed faster by having more bits available to do it when he apparently was talking about being able to access more at once (which does under some situations yield better performance).
