This article is kind of a second part to the AMD 64 vs. 32 OS article (http://www.thegenomecollective.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8277). This one compares the AMD64 and the Intel64 on both Windows 32 and 64.
In the end, AMD's implementation of x86-64 seems to be more robust than Intel's, although the results are definitely mixed. We'll need to revisit the issue as more real 64-bit applications become available. But for now, if you want to move to 64-bit Windows on dual-core processors, AMD may be the better overall solution.
