Are there any MP3 encoders available that will benefit from 64bit processor(s)?

[DannyBoy]

If so, would I notice a considerable speed increase in encoding on an Athlon 64 3000?

Do I need to be running a 64bit OS in order to run 64bit programs?

Cheers,
Dan

No idea, I guess there'd be some.

Yes.

I think with MP3 encoding you'd have to be doing hella encoding tasks to see any benefit. Like converting hundres or thousands of WAV's at a time, or some hellaciously big audio files. Otherwise, I doubt you'd see too much real world difference between 32/64 bit.
