Yes I have.  Runs great.  But it will not run all 32-bit software.  But 99% will
run

32-bit software runs exactly the same as in Windows 2k, XP, etc.

Programs specifically written for 64-bit can get from a 0% to a 60% speedup.
Just depends on if they can take advantage of the extra 'stuff' AMD64 gives you.

Chessbase doesn't have a 64-bit program out, and probably won't for a few years.
 Going to a 64-bit Windows will do you no good.
