The preformance increase in going from 32bit to 64bit is not noticable in FSX since it's a 32bit application. You may get one or 2 extra FPS because of the extra RAM (I did when going from 32bit which only recognized 3.2GB to 64bit which recognized the 4GB)... but not more. Still, I think people should move to 64bit because there will be some 64bit games out soon. And there are already some video, 3d and image editing programs that take advantage of the 64bit processors' capabilities.
