(Sorry for the top post... can't find the setting on my phone...)

For me, the memory increase is really not that noticeable. As in, it really has 
no functional impact on what I need it to run in any regard. I'm not doing 
embedded programming on these, I'm running things like openldap and named. In 
some cases, I'd wager that the performance increase of x64 is worth the memory 
tradeoff, but I don't have any hard data to prove it.

If nothing else, it means that I only need to build one architecture of RPMs 
instead of two. Everything else of mine runs x64, so it is absolutely worth it 
for me.

Do you (or anyone) think there are any advantages to running 64 bit on 
a device like this? Seems like a waste of memory to me...
