64-bit CPUS can address more memory and address it more easily, so if you had
64Gb of RAM on your box in 64-bit life would be easy, in 32-bit mode it gets
complicated. As most of us at most have at a maximum of only 4Gb it's not
something to worry about much. AMD claim that their processors are mildly
faster in 64-bit mode as it's cleaner than the legacy Intel 32-bit mode, but
you'd hardly notice.
As Rob says number crunching, e.g. video coding cam make a difference, most of
the rest of the time you'd never notice.
