I had the choice when buying a new PC to go with single threaded 64-bit or multiple cores. Particularly for gaming, I figured a single core was all I really needed, and 64-bit was the future.
The correct choice at the time was multiple cores. Everything going to 64-bit wasn’t going to happen until that computer was long dead.

Not efficiently, of course. And these days it’d be a disaster. But it was possible.
