The 64-bit processor really won't be useful now - there aren't enough 64-bit native drivers to support all of your hardware, so for the most part you'll be running them in 32-bit emulation mode, and none of the games (that I can think of) are compiled for 64-bit, so tehy'll also be in 32-bit mode.

The 64-bit processors are nice, yes - and I have several friends who have 64-bit gaming machines, but you can get the same performance out of your typical high-end 32-bit machine, at the moment.
