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?
