Memory manangement on 64bit version of SQL Server 2005

I noticed that in the x64 version of Management Studio we have the 'Enable AWE' memory. Why?

In Books online it states that '64-bit applications do not require AWE because access to memory is not limited to 4 GB'

If that is the case why have the option available on the 64bit version of the product?
What does it do?

Interesting SQL security article

On one of my regular visits to http://www.sqlsecurity.com I noticed a link plugging an interesting article called ‘Article on 10 tricks attackers use to access SQL Server’. Anyway the article can be found here
