Depends on the game but yes, in some cases the improvement can be significant (particularly for complex 3D systems such as Model 3, N64 and Seattle/Vegas)

Both. > Do I need to upgrade from Windows XP 32 bits to Windows XP 64 bits to benefit from > the extra performance?
You must upgrade; 64-bit applications won't run on a 32-bit OS.

You needn't worry; we don't support those games anyway
