No need for rumors. From
<http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology/sixtyfour-bit.html>:
"Snow Leopard Server uses 64-bit kernel technology to support
breakthrough amounts of RAM — up to a theoretical 16TB. With more RAM,
server applications can utilize more physical memory and in turn run
faster and more efficiently. In addition, the 64-bit kernel
dramatically increases the total number of simultaneous system
processes, threads, and network connections that the server can
utilize."
