I find it very strange that most(?) AMD64 desktops currently available can accomodate less than 4G of RAM. Even if >4G is slightly expensive now, you'd think people switching would want at least the possibility of upgrading to say 8G in a year or so.
I don't really know what I'd do with 8G on a desktop though.

Ability to address more memory is only one advantage of 64-bit architectures. There are other advantages, such as 64-bit arithmetic and (in case of AMD64) new registers.
