Hi all
I've tried out BOTH versions of W8 on a fairly modest laptop with 4 GB RAM -- my observations are that W8 x-86 beats W7 hands down for boot speed and performance but W8 x-64 (the 64 bit version) still isn't quite ready for prime time yet --it seems a lot more sluggish and a few programs won't work on it when they work just fine on W8 x-86 --- such as VMware workstation rel 8 / VMware player rel 4 and Equis Metastock v 11.
Cheers
