"slim edge" my tail pipe
How in the world can you do a PERFORMANCE benchmark of 64bit vs 32bit processors with 32bit Winbdows? This is akin to comparing a Lamborgini with a dump truck, both running diesel! These results would be higly skewed in favour of the 32bit processor.

Why didn't they compare using Linux as Linux has 32bit & 64bit kernels. Then run things like Quake III & Soldier of Fortune for gaming, MP3 & DivX for multimedia, tar & bzip for compression etc.

Until then, screw AnandTech and/or TomsHardware for such stupid & biased reporting!
