You should definitely go for x86-64, but you'll miss out on wine and skype from the repo.
Don't expect too much of a performance boost.

What he means is that you will not get native 64 bit support for wine. you will have to install the 32 bit versions of wine and skype.
Even 64bit Windows 7 does not have all apps as 64 bit. All the apps that install by default into Program Files (x86) are actually 32 bit apps and the ones that go in Program Files are 64 bit apps
