This is without thier $40 keyboard and other "essential" things...but it is a 64bit processor.

I've talked to some good geeks (vs bad geeks) who have said it runs about as fast as a 900Mhz to 1Ghz but that 32bit to 64 bit is not a doubling of performance.

Any compute knowledgeable people want to weigh in on the benefits of 64bit architecture and how much of a performance bennie you get?
