Word size and address bus has little to to do with it. If you want the fastest performance from these CPUs, you need to use all of their registers. The new 64bit CPUs from AMD and Intel only access the new set of additional registers when things are compiled for 64 bit.
Re:32-bits ought to be enough for anybody.
