How much of a speed increase would one notice between a Core2Duo and CoreDuo Macbook Pro running Aperture

I believe it uses OSX Core imaging (not to be confused with CoreDuo and Core2Duo).

64-bit processing isn't going to revolutionize any program frankly. It's just a different number, and certainly not twice the speed. Aperture will run better with more RAM. 2GB+ is really helpful unless you are managing/manipulating a small number of images.
