Sorry to reply to the same thread twice....but you may want to get ahold of Steven Hartland on this list if you are serious about going dual 64bits.He has been doing quite a bit of information gathering for his GSP.I can't remember his website off hand but Steven pitch in and tell this fella where to go for some stats :)
