My womans computer is 64 bit.. and it doesn't seem like a big deal.. It's a core2duo 3.0 w/ 4gb of memory 64 bit vista.. made by dell .. my old system was a core2quad (the 8300) with 4gb of ocz titanium (or whichever one has the really good timing) and I ran 32 bit xp

I think my system was faster even in 2 core mode

Now I have an Athlon X2 64 6000+ system with 2gb of DDR (it is about five years old)
I got it for $60 w/ a flat 20" monitor that I sold for $100 so this was essentially free

But I always have 20+ tabs open and I let her leave her browser open with 10+ tabs in it and now I'm trying to do some things on here and I have to have something better ..

Would this system run a lot faster with a 64 bit os? I kind of doubt it. If I build one, should I go for 64 bit components, or say fuck it since most of what I run is 32 bit anyway? Are 32 bit apps slower on 64 bit systems?

I think that a newer architecture 32 bit intel cpu would be my best bet. This may be 64 bit but it's old as piss and uses older slower DDR.
