However the AMD64 CPUs are very fast in 32bit mode, as well, and I
think, they even suck less power and thus allow machines which are
more quiet. At least to me, a quiet box is important, though I
suppose, other musicians see (or hear) this similarily. (And for a
quiet machine, the choice of graphics card is an important one as
well.)
