In reply to Comment 11 (Alan L Buxey):
>the chips happen to be faster because of the ongoing MHz drive...
>theres nothign inherently faster about 64bit chips for general applications.

Not quite true,
In terms of calculation no there's no advantage as it's the same number of operations per cycle.
But for operations which manipulate memory they will get a boost as you need less instructions to handle them. Memory copy operations will get a boost simply because the registers are bigger.

>64bit CPU's can access vastly more memory and do certain mathematical
>operations in just one bite. for Joe Public, the money is better off spent
>on a decent gfx card and ergonomic kit (monitor, kb/mouse, decent chair/desk etc)

For Joe public I think you're quite right - at least at the moment.
