x64 is a good thing only if the apps/ program/ games is indeed optimized for 64bit architecture.. the fact is, not all drivers and application now are fully optimize for 64 bit arch..so having a optimized 64 bit CPU isnt enough if driver support and application isnt compatible enough...which is also imo, doesnt develop as fast as x86 is the early days...
