I use both amd64 and i386 and I don't notice a performance difference. What I do find annoying is that there is no (good) java plugin for firefox and there are no w32codecs available. None of which is Debian's fault but it is inconvenient. I rather switch completely to amd64 but for now I only use it for my servers. Here are two interesting links to help you decide Desktop FreeBSD: 64-bit Future http://www.ofb.biz/safari/article/400.html (don't forget that FreeBSD is lagging behind Linux, Debian has nvidia/ati drivers) Is 64 bit ready or not? http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-499953-highlight-64bit+32bit.html
