I'm confuse about these 2 statements about performance of 32 bit application on 64 bit Windows 7....
- by metal gear solid
Running some 32 bit applications on a
64 bit OS could actually be slower.
The additional overheads in running 32
bit software in 64 bit mode could
cause a slight degradation in
performance. It will take some time
for 64 bit software to become the
norm.

That depends. If you're working with
large files or running applications
that consume a great deal of memory,
then 64-bit Windows will typically
give you a slight performance
advantage over 32-bit Windows running
on identical hardware. This is true
even when using 32-bit applications.

Which is true? If i go for 64 bit Windows 7 then will i feel more performance (Compare to 32 bit windows 7) of 3 years back purchased Adobe photoshop (I think it would be a 32 bit application) and some of other 32 bit applications ?
