Depends entirely on your application and your system configuration. For
most server applications, network bandwidth, disk latency and throughput
and the amount of RAM available for caching are far more relevant than
CPU grunt. Intel have done a superb job of branding the CPU as *the*
key system component. It isn't - servers need to be balanced systems,
and x86 vs x64 is only a small part of the overall balance.
Bottom line: if you have an application that's too slow, a change in CPU
architecture isn't going to save you :-).
