How much better are those on amd64?
If you have over 3 GB of memory then you need 64 bit.
I really think that's myth.
I'll confirm that. My laptop has 4G of RAM (though only 3.4G is
addressable, but my understanding is that that's a BIOS limitation
(thanks Dell) since both windows XP (which I dual boot) and Debian show
the same value). I'm running 32 bit just fine (2+ years ago when I
tried 64-bit on this hardware I couldn't get ubuntu64 nor debian64 to
work completely correctly), though I often feel like I'm an inferior
sort of geek (because I'm wasting those extra bits of processing power).
