no - the boundary between 32 and 64 is kinda wierd
e.g
Itanium or Opteron = 64 bit only
athlon 64 or Pentium 4 with EMT64 = 32 bit cpu that can handle 64 bit stuff

Athlon 64 is a 32bit CPU that can handle 64 bit stuff? That doesn't make sense? Are you sure?

apparently (my old IT teacher told me this but he was an idiot) the Athlon64 is like the pntium 4 with EMT64 in that it has aregular 32 bit instruction set but 64 bot registers (actually, it might be the other way around, cant remeber)

I tested my 64 VS. 32 a little while back when i was extremely bored. graphically,64 is better but it seems to take longer loading big apps (like photoshop cs2)
All in all - the 32 bit version is the most stable way to go
