About to build a replacement system for an older i386 setup. A few

large annoyance too.
Now I have a new system with 8GB, etc,etc and wonder if I am best off to
stick with i386 and PAE or is the amd64 version finally on a par or
close enough that I would not likely have many issues like in the past?
Thanks for your thoughts/(recent) experiences.
Do you use emulators/wine? If not, switch to amd64. In fact, even if
you do, switch to amd64 to use that 8G of memory. Building 32-bit Wine
on amd64 is a hassle, but packages are available and I think there is a
64-bit port on the way.
I heard valgrind is another... in case you are a developer.
