Hi,
I lurk on the LKML, say hi once in awhile, ask a question once in
awhile, and try to read at least the interesting to a non-programmer
posts. I was curious about this one that came up today. Seems like

64-bits just aren't worth it on the desktop.
They are if you have 4G RAM or more. ;-)

As for speed: boy, those new processors (an amd 3800 x2 in my case) are fast...
as are their 32 bits equivalent.
Considering the 3800+ x2 (ditto here) runs at a real speed of 2GHz vs
the 1.8GHz my old Athlon XPm2500+ did in stock configuation, I'd say
so. Of course tweak the XPm to a real
