If a 64 bits processor isn't faster than a 32 bits processor the processor
is nothing more than a bad joke of course.

I'm very right here. fastest 32 bits processor which i can buy is
clocked at 2.4Ghz now. Fastest 64 bits processor (let's not even
mention its insane price) is the power4 or something 1.3Ghz if
i remember well?

K7 MP is clocked at 1.67Ghz now. XP even faster already.

You don't even know that 2.4 is bigger than 1.3 !!!!!
this is pathetic. What a beginner. Go back to grammar school!!!!
