Dell 1850 2xXeon(dual cores) 64bit nightmare

[el]

okay basically I have 3 of these servers64x 2x2.8ghz(dual) with 2mbl2 and 4gigs ram.

problem is they are slower than the 2x3.6ghz(single) running in 32bit.

how could this be and what are my options.

basically the tests are running sql server 05 64bit compared to sql server 32bit.

any ideas would be great.
