I don't know if it's a valid test or not, but when I run my Ultra-1 
(200mhz model) in 64bit mode it seems to take much less time to crunch 
on seti at home packets. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I believe 
in 32bit mode it was doing a packet in like 34 hours, and in 64 bit 
mode it takes around 25 or so.
