the is slightly off topic: when you increase the bits of a processor, the available ram is decreased. so 2 gig on a 32 bit is only usable 1 gig on 64 bit. so unless the code in javaVM at the machine level is taking advantage of the 64 bit instruction set, you are not gaining anything. What usually happens it the complied runtime is still using the 32 bit instruction set, on a 64 bit cpu. until they go in and optimize the machine code generated.
