Sorry could you explain, how do you know programs are running twice as fast? like what programs are these that run twice as fast?

He's talking about stuff like this...
Maple 12 Professional –Math & Engineering Software – Maplesoft MATLAB - The Language of Technical Computing
They are for advance math calculations that automate the work of like 10 million people with calculators over a year into an operation that last 1 minute.
Hi rasmasyean thanx, for the detailed heads up, well if they are running twice as fast it is probably because they are native 64 bit programs or they have chunks of 64 bit code in them or they are regular 32 bit programs which because of their specialist nature are able to make use of the added features Vista 64 has. But for the ordinary user that likes to play games and use it for e-mail and stuff like that unless one can get hold of some games specifically designed for 64 bit one is unlikely to see an improvement in speed by using a 64 bit operating system. It is not I am trying to be negative but I think it better not to give people a false impression of Vista 64bit operating systems in that if they are sold to people on the basis they are capable of running 32 bit application software as fast as vista 32bit operating systems, most 32 bit programs will run on the on the Vista 64 bit operating systems and driver support is good but not fully comprehensive and additionally you are buying in to an operating system which can perform significantly better [ than a 32 bit system could run a like 32 bit applications software, with the 32 bit system being unable to run 64 bit applications software full stop ] when paired with native 64 bit applications software, people are going to be happy with their packages, if they come into the thing expecting a doubling of performance from the get go on popular applications software, they are going to be majorly p*ssed off.
