Technology-wise they are fairly similar, though in terms of the features they support, Intel is quite lacking.

The 64bit just doesn't have enough support for my liking and this means I have to go without many of my favourite programs, many drivers and most of all games. Although some games may work, on my test machine I had next to no success running any games. Far Cry 64 Bit is pretty good but gets boring fast.
True, the Windows x64 bit edition is technically quite good, unfortunantly the support for it is crap, games should generally work fine, but if you have a decent system, chances are, the devices you have (Mobo springs to mind ) won't have x64 Bit driver support
