Yes, 32bit, and Athlon 64s ran x86 last I heard :)The 64bit argument is one I will have to consider more deeply, but certainly in the near term, I won't gain anything from it, as I don't do *any* of the things the extended memory range is good for, and don't need more than 4GB RAM.......
Later when I upgrade to a phenom, and stick 1GB RAM per core in there, then yeah, I will probably recompile into 64bit, but that can be done in a chroot, and migrated fairly easily I would expect, so long as the system is running.
