We can't have nice things like tessellation, DX11, or utilize more memory until the minority hold-outs upgrade their gaming systems. My question is...when will CCP realize that the rest of the gaming world has moved onto 21st century tech and they are still working with tech from 2001 and their game engine needs a major upgrade? Will the game continue to be held back by the minority of players that are too cheap to upgrade?
I'm not sure it is a minority of players who use 32bit OS'
not everyone can afford to upgrade their Gaming hardware yearly like those of us in the 1st world with good jobs (or parents with good jobs.)
Eve is played globally.
Also some people need to run 32bit systems for other programs that are not 64bit compatible.
I am not saying it should not be worked on, but I do not believe it should be rushed.
(also I doubt anyone is running Win98 to play Eve, but I may be mistaken)

I'm coming late to this thread, but we have no plans for a 64-bit EVE Client. The EVE Universe Server is 64-bit because we need access to the extra memory but there is only need for a 64-bit EVE Client once we need more than 3 GB on Windows XP / Windows Vista 32 or 4 GB on Windows Vista/7/8 64. Otherwise refer to the replies from Tippia, they were all quite good.

Explorer I understand what you say, however my EVE client often crashes when it goes beyond the 2GB threshold, so it is being limited by a more legacy limit, care to give some insight about this? Without logs and crash dumps then I can't comment. Have you filed bug reports when this happens? That would enable us to look at the problem.

EVE's server has been 64-bit since September 2008. If I may refer you to my devblog at the time: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/eve64/

When you running 3 clients.......................  If you run multiple clients then each has its own addressable memory space.

YOUR OWN WORDS PROVE YOU WRONG, CCP EXPLORER.
The server is 64-bit and the DB is 64-bit. What is needed to have 64-bit is 64-bit.
The client is 32-bit since we need to support Windows XP, there is overhead in having two clients, some of the middleware is only available as 32-bit and there is no reason to have the client as 64-bit.

Today's devblog, New system requirements for EVE (feedback thread), might be of interest to the readers of this thread.
