Reports and getting firsthand experience are two different items.
I ended up dual booting to get better performance on 32 bit applications.
Even Windows Upate refused to work with 64 bit browser and you have to use

Windowds 64 bit OSs are no better than when Windows 95 first came out. All
the 16 bit software worked terrible and slow on the 32 bit OS.
