64 bit really has almost nothing to do with speed - it about additional addressable RAM. You will generally NOT get a speed increase going from 32 bit to 64 bit. 32 bit apps will not see any speed improvement. 64 bit apps may or may not see a speed improvements depending on how well they are optimized to a 64 bit OS. The speed advantage of moving data 64 bits at a time is usually offset by the extra processing power it takes to process 64 bits at a time, plus In some cases, 64-bit applications on a 64-bit OS may actually perform slower because every pointer is not 64-bits long instead of 32-bits and moving the additional data around may result in a slight slowdown. For most apps, the speed difference between 32 vs 64 bits is negligable.

Sure, whatever Spanky.

You sure do have a high opinion of yourself, even if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

OK. What SPECIFIC thing do you think that I don’t know what I’m taking about? I can provide links to speed comparisons and the like if you want and it’s commonly know that Win7 is built on the Vista core. Do your homework before critisizing. Google is your friend.
