Does anyone have an opinion about the value of getting a 64 bit machine? Desktop or laptop?

My impression is that the laptops don't offer any performance advantage. It's just something to boast about.

I don't really know whether the 64 bit desktops run faster. I haven't used a desktop in years.

And what's the ideal operating system for it? I've always thought Linux was optimized for the x86 processor. I'd be surprised if it significantly outperforms on a 64 bit machine.

PS Happy Christmas to all.
