As far as I know there will be no difference.
32bit runs natively on AMD64 chips.
The only advantage of 64bit is the extra address space and huge integers

But I could be wrong, iv not done any benchmarking myself just what i
have read on the net.
I have no idea if Asterisk gains a significant advantage on 64bits v 32,
but thought I would respond to the commonly perpetuated statement that,
"The only advantage of 64bit is the extra address space and huge integers"
The x86 Instruction Set architecture allows for 8 general purpose
registers.
The x86_64 ISA allows for 16, somewhat more flexible ones.
The potential here is for software that can effectively utilise the
extra ones, will gain some benefit.
See http://www.techreport.com/reviews/2005q1/64-bits/index.x?pg=2 for
more information.
