I'm assuming that would give me access to all 32 bit software. It
would also be a performance hit, correct?
Running a 64-bit OS has noticeable performance improvements
in processing audio (especially encoding/decoding) and in
compiling source code (C/C++).
Other than that, most folks don't notice any performance
difference between 32/64-bit modes.
