32bit vs 64bit

[pablosblog]

I use:

- Windows 7 32 bit
- Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit

Will I get a good performance boost, switching to Ubuntu 10.10 64bit ?

I have:

- 4GB RAM
- Nvidia GTX 460
- i7 870

I tested both here, in version r6871 and I believe the 64bit outperformed

I have a core2duo E8400, and when I first tried Dolphin I was running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu for compatibility with various things ( flash, skype, etc... ). I recently switched back to the 64 bit version and not only does Dolphin run faster, but I've discovered that most of the 64 bit Ubuntu problems have been fixed. It's not a night and day difference in speed, but you'll certainly notice it.
