I for one do notice a difference between 3 GiB of RAM and 8 GiB of RAM, especially on my DAW. Also the 64bit CPU designs are superior to the 32 bit ones, this is not necessarily a result of being 64bit but it does not change the results.
Jamin runs much better on my core i7 than my dual core laptop (T9550 @ 2.66GHz) which in turn outperformed my old 1.6 Ghz Centrino. The fastest two machines have 8 GiB and 4 GiB respectively, which required a 64 bit architecture and OS.
