AMD64 I386 or X64 load?

I just discovered that I grabbed the wrong set of CD's yesterday and loaded
the I386 set on my dual processor, dual core Opteron machine (Sun Ultra
40).

I then downloaded the latest 2.16 kernel and built a custom kernel for this
machine, setting the processor type correctly in the kernel config.

How much performance penalty should I expect, if I don't reload the correct
binaries?
