    Access 2010

    Is Access 2010 64 bit have any benefits over 32 bit?

    I know it is useful for large spreadsheets in Excel and graphical intensive Powerpoint presentations but does Access gain any benefit?
    Thank You,

    The 64-bit systems can use more virtual and physical memory than 32-bit systems. This lets users work with much larger data sets than they could previously, and to analyze and solve large computational problems. Microsoft Office 2010 introduces native 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office products to take advantage of this larger capacity. For example, this additional capacity is needed only by those Microsoft Excel users who require Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB).

    Does that mean that Access's limit of 2gb is no longer a true limitation?
    Someday I'll understand everything...
    Even then...I'll still pretend I'm a beginner.
