Depends, what do you do?

The AMD64 has benchmarked faster than the P4 Xeon while in 32-bit emulation mode, it's pretty damn fast.

I run a 64-bit OS on a dual opteron, and it screams, faster than the quad Xeon I was playing with before. Faster architecture, faster bus, faster memory... You'll notice a huge difference.

But if you're just surfing the web and checking email, who cares?
