64 bit requires compatible softwares, processors & note that you cant run a 32 bit app on it.

You can can not run one application faster on 64 bit processor than 32- bit processor. If you are doing multiple tasks then only 64- bit processor will make you feel the speed advantage than 32- bit processor. Like antivirus scanning while playing high graphics games.
