64 bit processors process the data in 32 bit just about as fast as the 64 bit optimized some people have tried making. The reason is that the data is crunched in the FPU. Since the size of the FPU has not changed in the 32 bit processors, your speed is not significantly changed.

There will probably never be a 64 bit BOINC, but there are optimized 64 bit crunchers. I belive you will find them here.
