This is just not true, it depends completely on what you are trying to do with 
the computer. If you want to run memory intensive calculations then yes a 64 
bit OS is a significant advantage, in fact the only thing that makes it 
possible if meory requirement exceeds approx 2-3 Gb (depending on application 
memory management issues).
