AFAIK that the Opteron is fully compatible with the x86-32 system. So any
binaries compiled on a Pentium System will also run on an Opteron. I think
the Opteron also implements these SSE2 extensions, but you probably won't
find many applications that depend on these extensions.
Another question is if the MaxDB binaries are compatible with 64-bit Linux
distributions. But I would also assume that there is no difference as 64bit
shared libraries should be compatible with 32bit binaries.

I don't know, but I doubt the speed gain would be that big. Probably it's
around 5 to 15%. A lot of this x86_64 is a marketing hype. But perhaps it's
possible to compile the sources yourself with some compiler optimizations
(e.g. -m64) set?
