I do web development at work, with some image editing. With photoshop being the exception, most of my applications will not make use of the 64bit abilities of my processor and OS.

However, windows xp 64-bit is noticeably faster than it's 32bit counter part. That has been the biggest advantage, where driver support for pretty much everything has been a problem. (printers, BBs, ect)

So, it's faster...hands down...b/c it's calculations are faster. Just b/c some applications haven't taken advantage doesn't mean the whole 64bit OS movement is garbage.
