In early 2000's, 64 bits personal computers started lining up in the market. But 64 bit machines are existed in the early 70's, i.e. during super computers dawn. In recent times, even 64 bit based smart phones going to be hit in the market. It is already initiated by apple for its latest iphone series (good move).
If you calculate the value 2^64= 18446744073709551616.
