Hi, I'm also curious to the answers to this question ;-) I just received (yesterday) my new AMD64 comp, and am busy installing it too as 64bit. I found this link which does answer quite a lot: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml This does however not say if users are successfully using 64bit systems, and if there are actual advantages to it (double-libraries for some programs etc etc).
