Yes, it will. But unfortunately that's not always for the better because
a lot of 3rd party programs don't work properly if they are compiled
as 64 Bit binaries.

This is one of the reasons why Sun uses a hybrid approach in Solaris.
You get 32 bit and 64 bit libraries and only a necessary few 64 bit
applications (e.g. "truss"). Things like e.g. Mozilla are 32 bit
applications which therefore don't suffer from bugs caused by
lack of 64 bit portability.

	Kind regards
