64-bit OSs:

- Allow you to fully use 4GB+ of memory

- Can only be run on AMD64 processors

- Use more memory in general

- 32-bit applications or unoptimised ones are generally slower

- Optimised 64-bit applications are generally faster

- Many driver incompatibilities at present: it can be difficult to make hardware work

 

I don't know where you got that from.

You might have heard of a small start up company called Intel? Any intel processor with EM64T extensions can run 64 bit  programs. Think core2 and even some of the cpus before that had it.

 

Yeah, Intel's Core 2 and later are AMD64 compatible. But AMD invented it and Intel cloned it.

 

Not like AMD never licensed intel technologies. Hello SSE!
