This is not too representative, especially since not all libs and progs are exactly the same version on both installations, but I still think this shows 64 bit CAN make a big difference, depending on what you plan to do with your new system.

Re: [gentoo-user] Palm Desktop to Kontact?

After having an extremely good experience on my Linux machine, I have talked him into switching some of his computers to Linux. On his Business machine, he checks email, manages documents, browses the web, and manages a database of people, with Palm desktop. Since these tasks are fairly easy to be done on Linux, this will be his first machine. Unfortunately, his Palm Desktop database is so huge, it would take days to enter the database by hand into Kontact, or another program that does the same thing.
