It largely depends on whether you're running a 64-bit or 32-bit OS. Naturally, you'll need a 64-bit processor regardless! I suspect that the thunking needed to run a 32-bit application in a 64-bit OS will produce some overhead, but from my personal experience where I have a dual boot Win32/Linux64, there is little perceptable difference and OS/driver implementations would probably make more of a difference. But this is almost entirely speculative on my part, so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt.
