Please stop spreading that old and wrong myth. There once was a time when
intel 64bit processors where slower with 32bit apps then with native 64bit
apps. I don't know if that still holds. Just because there is no (bundled)
64bit windows coming with that new computers, doesn't mean that 64bit is bad.

From my experience (doing math number crunching with doubles on big data read
from disk) 64bit 1.8GHz is faster then 32bit 2x2.8GHz....
