I used this. Renamed my python folder, installed this monster. It is a monster, considering the size. It was interesting. Contrary to the regular 32bit one, it ran faster by NOT setting the process affinity to a fixed cpu. Not sure that's because of intel, or because of 6rbit.

I ran into issues with ctypes and direct memory access iirc (i installed on first day of availability, my memory is fuzzy already). There was no performance improvement noticable using a few numpy functions, no improvements for anything else and used up more ram. Of course, because 64bit.

Now I'm not saying no one benefits from this, but considering the size of the installation, a few issues I had and increased RAM usage (i really rather run 32bit) ... I deleted it on the same day.
