Well, a 64bit CPU will run native 64bit Windows code somewhat faster than a 32bit CPU (whether that's a 64bit CPU in legacy 32bit mode with a 32bit OS or a 32bit CPU) will run native 32bit Windows code. However, the rest is true - you won't have faster access to devices or memory; just a CPU that runs code native for it faster. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Z400 workstation

You will probably gain a little bit more free ram. I bet your total usable ram is < 3 gig and moving to x64 will most likely allow you to use your full 3 gig that is installed. And in fact if you wanted to add some ram you could then do that whereas you cannot get any more free ram with x32 in that machine with that 1 gig graphics card. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Scratch built

One of my old machine at the office running 64-bit with very limited RAM (2GB). it does most office work. Lower scores in graphic performance don't do bother me at all.
