I have converted most of my machines used for distributed computing to 64-bit operating systems. I and others have discovered that a x64 OS will boost production (i.e. generate more points on a daily basis). A year or so ago, this was not really needed since BOINC (the distributed computing client that I use) was available only as a 32-bit program. But there is a 64-bit version now. I have found that the x64 client, combined with a x64 OS, will increase production by 10-15%.
