Let me comment that my 64-bit commentary about I/O is based on
experience with Opterons, which have excellent I/O bandwidth. The
Intel EM64T boxes do ok, too, but I have no experience with other 64-

I've used.
That said, I run 64-bit FreeBSD on all servers capable of it, just to
have consistent system images (all my new boxes going forward are 64
bit, so I can eventually phase out the 32-bit system images).
Management of multiple systems changes the decision making process
