Is it really worth the bother?
Half the stuff i use is 32b, VPN to work is 32b only.
Work lappy is i7 8Gb and is slower than my home core duo 2Gb. (Cirix so allegedly don't need the VPN which is 10x faster).
At work we were upgraded to Win7 64, 8gb 3.0 quad core. Used it briefly and plugged my old dual core 4Gb legacy box back in as it's so much quicker.
So what is the bonus? Yes you can add s
t loads of RAM but otherwise? Is it actually quicker on anything apart from games and CAD?
