There is no noticeable improvement as of yet when just doing standard windowsy things, but it does enable you to use 64 bit only programs and games (Like the version of FarCry).

To be honest 64 bit applications will only take off in the mainstream when Vista is released, you're best off using the 32bit version for now as 64 has been known to have driver issues.

wouldnt count on that... Vista has totally bum ****** 64 bit. It should have been 64 bit purley, unfortunally Blackcomb is also going to have a 32 bit version as well, so no doubt we are still stuck with 32 bit till 2012
