A 64-bit operating system processes data in 64-bit chunks rather than
32-bit chunks. In theory it's faster, but in practice, it seldom is,
unless you are running 64-bit applications. Since there are very few
such applications yet, for most people the difference is somewhere
between tiny and non-existent.
