Nowadays the only true quad core CPU on the market is produced by Intel, not core2 dual. Its price is quite expensive. AMD has problem on Phenom unsolved therefore they have to disable one core making it 3 core CPU.
I'm NOT in a hurry to get a quad core CPU. I'm quite happy with AMD dual core CPU. I'll wait for 6/8 core CPU on the market. Unless the price of the true quad core CPU drops dramatically. Otherwise I'll keep my hands off it.
I ceased running 32 bits OS for sometimes eversince AMD marketed their 64bit CPU. All the PCs running here are of 64bit architecture.

SUN makes basic 64 bit and IIRC sun made 64 later 76 bit existed even before sun launched its native 64 bit. and i am readily reading the docs for amd's core based CPU's arch because i am a developer.
AMD Phenom™ Technical Documentation
SUN doesnt use SUN SPARC or SPARC64 or ULTRASPARC or ULTRASPARC64 for those platform you mentioned. SUN replaced the SPARC and SPARC64 with AMD64 for non-expensive affordable ranges. i am saying this because i have a friend in choopa.nl and there they use just SUN alone and all are SPARC and/or SPARC64 and if you have doubt? login to efnet and ask for jilles. thats an ISP from holland and they are hardcore SUN rack server users.
questions?
