Very interesting. I can only speculate that the improved performance in x64
has more to do with the extra GPR's becoming available than any performance
improvement just from being 64bit, but I hope we can see these gains across
the board in content creation apps.
The impact of 1MB of cache would indeed be interesting. I read somewhere
that 64bit decreases the useful cache amount (due to the increased pointer
size?), so we might see a bigger jump in a Toledo core.

Ok, finally setup a partition to run X64. Running a 4200+ X2.
Nero Recode to manage a full DVD:
3000+ Venice (same board & configuration) in XP64, Nero 7.0.8: 14:15
3000+ Venice (same board & configuration) in XP, Nero 7.0.8: 16:13
4200+ X2 (same board & configuration) in XP64: 5 mins, 32 Seconds
4200+ X2 (same board & configuration) in XP: 9 mins, 39 Seconds
Damn! Good work on behest of the Nero folks ;)
I wonder if the 4400+ X2 [Toledeo core] with the 1meg L2 would break the
5min barrier. ;-)
