There's a few gotcha's, but it largely works well for SRCDS. If you're a masochist like I, you'll enjoy it. If you don't like Gentoo though, well, it's probably a bad idea. I think Debian (Ubuntu as well) just started working on a port in the last few months, but it's probably still a ways out. Mind you I haven't done any benchmarks, but in comparison to amd64, I don't stand to lose anything (besides my remaining sanity). I have a few programs compiled for amd64 as they don't run on x32; it's not really a solution to anything. I don't recommend it, but I'm sticking with it for the long haul (until something better is released), Kyle. PS: Oh right, binaries. Without switching architectures, there are other compilers out there besides GCC (ICC, Pathscale, llvm), maybe this could be entertained instead?
