The 64 bit hardware can move data twice as fast and can execute the
equivalent of two 32 bit instructions per machine cycle. However, to get
this benefit from a 64 bit machine you have to be running a 64 bit OS. In
the future more and more applications will also be coded in 64 bit and will
therefore also run faster when running with a 64 bit OS. If running
applications such as video editing or video file format conversion which use
a lot of memory they will run faster with a 64 bit OS since it can support
system memory larger the 4GB.
