Trust CPUZ, not My Computer. Mine also says 3.6 in My Computer but I assure you my Q6600 can't hit 3.6 on air. I am also running 1600 FSB, but I can't say for certain why windows reads it that way -- your suggestion about windows reading the CPU with only the default multiplier is as good an explanation as any, though.
64 bit is only worth it if you actually need it. If you have any games or apps that benefit heavily from having access to more than 3gb of ram then its something to look at, but not essential. I use XP32 with 4gb (3.25gb effective) and I have no problems with anything out there... but I don't own ARMA2 yet, heheh. With your low end graphics I definitely wouldn't bother until you can upgrade that, it is much more important than OS. But it is something to look at down the road when you have much more of a need for it.
