64 bit support is no magic bullet. You can compute some things faster with 64 bits, but in other cases the bottleneck is somewhere else and it wont make a difference (and in theory, some operations could be slower). Still, not using 64 bits in 2013 is a bit strange, since CPU's have had this possibility for a decade.
In my opinion SE has plenty of headroom for doing more computationally complex stuff. I have a relatively new PC (bought last year), but my CPU (quadcore i7-3770K) and GPU (GeForce GTX 670) are not expensive. Still, SE frequently runs at several hundred fps even with the highest level of detail. I wouldn't care if the framerate dropped from 100 to 50 if the tradeoff was improved rendering.
But even if the hardware can do it for most people, it still requires the work of actually implementing it.

But not everyone has a 64-bit OS. And many of the apps we use every day are 32-bit as well, especially games. Firefox is 32-bit (unless they have a 64-bit version I missed somewhere), KSP is 32-bit, Steam is 32-bit, and most games from professional studios are as well, unless they were built specifically with the PC in mind rather than PC being an afterthought to the console release, and sometimes not even then. It may seem a bit strange that we still use 32-bit apps, but it's not unusual that SE is 32-bit since so many other things still are too. I doubt we'll see 64-bit apps become the norm until no one uses a 32-bit OS anymore.

True. And it's strange that 32 bit OS's are still getting installed.
Quote (HarbingerDawn) and most games from professional studios are as well
How about the requirement for SSE3 support, do games require that? SSE3 is about a decade old and it should be safe to assume that any x86 PC supports it now. The advantage of SSE3 over SSE2 is not very big, though.
I think paging and virtual memory support was added for the 286, which was released in 1982. This is absolutely essential for a serious multi-user OS. But I don't think Windows made full use of it until 1992 or something. History repeats.

Indeed, but even were that not the case there will always be people using systems that are 5-10 years out of date, and you can expect software coding to not be too far ahead of that as far as standards go. For example, I can think of at least one game company *cough*lucasarts*cough* that was still releasing games with 16-bit installers as late as 1999, long after 32-bit operating systems became standard.
And for reasons which are a mystery to me, even Windows 8 is offered in 32-bit form.

This has no purpose for SE nor other game, because rendering is done on GPU, not CPU. Supporting of 64 bit addressing will just increase RAM available for program. But any textures and meshes must be stored in VRAM, so size of VRAM and power of GPU is the most important thing.
