64 bit OS will not run 32 Bit slow (but it won't run them any faster either).
You may be thinking of an emulator type situation in which Yes... a 32 bit OS will actually run a 16 bit app slower then a 16 bit OS because it's using some kind of emulator(hybrid jerry-rigg) to get back to the 16 bit world.
Total Machine Cost
$985 - CPU QuadExtreme
$225 - CPU - Asus Motherboard P5W DH Deluxe (an Average mother board)
$544 - RAM Corsair 4GIGS at cas 4
Other miscellaneous shit and total came up to about $2400 (no monitor). As you can see it's mostly the CPU and RAM. I was fuckin pissed I had to repeat the cost on my video card which was not compatible with the motherboard I wanted.
I had paid $450 for a nVidia 6800GT and its basically useless now.
