The question isn't really 64/32, it's 'what's the best CPU price/performance ratio I can get' and since the A64 architecture kicks sand in the P4's face (the memory system more than the CPU design) and the prices are more than reasonable, A64 is where it's at. FX chips are way off the scale considering the limited life of Socket 940.

If you're looking for a 64bit OS, may I suggest dual-booting Linux on it? Plenty of full 64bit ports out there now.
