Conroe and 64bit benchmarks + analysis

Ok this should lay to rest some crap about Conroe/Pentium-D not doing 64bit "natively". In short, we will see minor performance gains on average. However, as I suspected, some apps will take large performance drops. This is nothing new, as it is not new to the A64 or Pentium series. One can be particularily misleading about 64bit performance just by choosing which benchmarks to run. However, like I suspected, on average we will see a minor gain similar to the A64. Ironically, the Pentium-D gains the most from going 64bit.
