Not,exactly, the stream test also factors in ram, an importent factor for ram usage.
8Gb of ram adds about 300-400 points in the 64Bit test, those are real numbers.

Would you guys be interested in creating a separate 64bit chart and see the difference? (Piggo3's mac probably has 16Gb of ram... +800 points)

Well, since I can't take advantage from 64 Bit I can't test it at that, but...I did get another 100 points from the ram on 32 Bit, It gave me another 3 places on the list.

Ok, so I broke down today and ordered the 13" i7 MBA. :D
