Because many years ago there were 16bit systems, now there are 32bit, near
future 64bits wll rule the world, and maybe after 8 or 10 years we wil have
something like 128bits. Why there is no point? Because not enought software
are supported by 64 bits, so it means that 100% of system isn't used.

Reduced CPU usage, reduced MEM usage, more stable server refresh rates.
IF there was no point in 64bit, why are there 64bit versions of *nix and
Windows?

Not to be a Luddite, but the benefits of a srcds_l / hlds_l server that
runs as a 64 bit binary escape me. The server software does not seem to
have a need to huge amounts of memory, and it seems difficult to
demonstrate any significant differences in application throughput when
you compare 64 bit builds versus 32 bit builds. Would a srcds_l / hlds_l
give better performance as a 64 bit binary? Reduce CPU usage? Give
players a better server to play on?
So someone help me, what would be the advantage of a 64 bit dedicated
server?

If you're talking about the Source Dedicated Server, there aren't any
64-bit binaries released yet. I presume the engine_amd binary is just
optimized for AMD CPUs in general.
If 64-bit binaries were released, you'd need one for every binary in the
bin/ folder, as well as one for all the mods you run.
