You pay extra for it, but get a processor that's the fastest on the market.
Athlon 64's are worth their price for the power they deliver. Are you "wasting" the 64-bit aspect of the processor? Until 64-bit applications are the norm, yes. Are you getting a processor that beats every Athlon XP and most P4's on the market? Yep.
