Yes, AFIAK right now, 64-bit Prescotts are scheduled for August.  We can 
argue whether or not they will be useful 64-bit chips due to the lack of 
an IOMMU.  But they will support the same ISA, and long-mode processes 
will be allowed to have terabytes of virtual memory.  (Just as long as 
it isn't all materialized, or you have plenty of disk space. ;-)
