My experience was not as good. When I switched to 64-bit Win7 several of my projects that were at the edge in 32-bit, had the scales tipped enough that they would not play without artifacts in the audio. One by one I replaced things like the 32-bit Lexicon Pantheon with the 64-bit Lexicon MPX Native Reverb, and was able to make those songs play again at 64 samples latency.
If you don't have 100+ FX and 30+ tracks, it may not matter, but I saw enough of a hit bridging 32-bit FX to shell out some money and replace all mine with 64-bit versions so I would use no bridging.
