Don't you think with this power crazy market that if there was any significant performance increase in using them to run 32 bit software that they would be more prevalent in the home computer arena?
It?s no different than buying a dual processor box and running software that is not programmed to take advantage of it. It?s just a sales gimmick.

You are wrong. It depends on the design of the actual processor, among other things.
