64bits of sweet action. Tell me if im right.

So someone please tell me if I got my facts right.

1. Leopard OSX is 64bit compatible.
2. Using the -Legacy flag forces 32bit only.
3. Not using the -Legacy flag will allow me to run compatible applications written to support 64bit. But will prevent me from running PPC apps under rosetta?
4. Most drivers (kexts) are not written to take advantage of 64bit.
5. Snow Leopard 10.6 should be a giant step toward 64bit sweet action.
