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?
Do I need a 64bit version operating system? or will standard windows 2000 work?
