NUMA or SMP architecture?

Just bought 32Gb ram for my render pc and in the bios under the memory tab there is a possibility to use either NUMA(Non-uniform memory access) or SMP(Symmetric multiprocessing). Right now it set for SMP but it is written there that NUMA can give a great boost for 64bit multi cpu systems.

I have a dual quad 64 bit system so theoretically it could help. Is there anyone out there with experience on this? Does TG rendering can be faster with NUMA?
