Neither conclusion is true. We have 8 GB machines using 32-bit CPUs,
and proper 64-bit systems (those that are not IA64 based) are pretty
much always faster than IA32.

The above is also not true. The time taken for a garbage collection
(even a full one) is pretty much independent of the size of the heap; it
is very dependent on the number of live objects in the heap, which tends
to be relatively constant for any given application.
