Not many, unless the app you're running is written to take advantage of all those extra bits. But if you take two machines, both 1.8GHz but one 32bit and one 64 bit, and run Photoshop on them both (I think PS has been optimised for 64 bit, someone shout if I'm wrong), the 64 bit machine will leave the 32 bit version eating dust, so to speak. Very noticeable indeed.
