    I think it is worth it.
    Some plugins uses much less cpu on 64-bit, for example studio drummer in kontakt.
    I use Logic and overall it uses a bit less cpu in 64-bit. And as you know you can have more plugins on your session.
    So i say go 64-bit ;)

    plus, with 32bit programs you can only use a max total of 4GB of RAM. (even if you installed more than 4GB of RAM)
    with 64bit you don't have this limitation! :thumbsup:

    thanks for you input the only disadvantage is that not all plugins are 64 bit but eventually they all will be thanks
