i don't see the benefit of 64 bit CPUs on a Microsoft OS as of yet.

there is an advantage with intel and video encoding, and a noticable one, due to hyperthreading. however if you're only doing audio recording, you don't have to deal with hours/days of encoding going on on your PC, so..

/shrug

since AMD doesn't suffer from only being an option with VIA motherboards anymore, i would say personal preference. but then again, no intel chipset has had any PCI bus issues that would cause such problems, ever, to my knowledge.
