Dual 32 bit processors running at 1.6gHz?

Depends on a lot of stuff like the motherboard, chipset, software application, etc. One of the biggest issues is software. If the software wasn't written to run on a 64 bit machine, you won't see any improvement with the 64 bit, and the dual 32 bit board will run circles around the single 64 bit machine.
