Yes, it's all 64-bit. It's also possible, with work doing a chroot environment, to run a full 32-bit only user environment. And those things that don't work in 64-bit environment - binary plugins/apps, will eventually get there later this year when Mictosoft gets off its collective butt and ships WinXP64. Put another way - folks like Real have little current incentive when their main customer base remains in 32-bit mode.
I know some admins who are looking to try Oracle RAC on amd64, but have some 64bit vs 32bit issues for a number of things. If they could run Oracle in 64bit and some of the helper applications in 32bit that would solve a number of their issues in a production enviroment... testing updates would be much easier. Happen to have any links on this?
Also I'd been googling around and hadn't found anything about running 32bit drivers, fiber hba card, in a 64 bit kernel. The answer appears to be no, but no one has said anything definite.
