I completely disagree.  I for one do notice a difference between 3 GiB
of RAM and 8 GiB of RAM, especially on my DAW.  Also the 64bit CPU
designs are superior to the 32 bit ones, this is not necessarily a
result of being 64bit but it does not change the results.

Jamin runs much better on my core i7 than my dual core laptop (T9550 @
2.66GHz) which in turn outperformed my old 1.6 Ghz Centrino.  The
fastest two machines have 8 GiB and 4 GiB respectively, which required a
64 bit architecture and OS.

Just my 2c
