Nah, network doesn't improve under 64bits.

Major advantage is being able to have more than 4GB memory available but if you're needing that much memory for a mediacenter application you're doing something wrong...

Other one is a minor speed advantage because there are more and wider registers, but having 64bits pointers might be causing more cpu cache misses so how it plays out is really dependent on compiler options, algorithms used etc...

Either way for a gui-application these possible speed improvements are not noticable normally.
