Some years ago, when i buy computer with amd64 procesor, i did the same troubles: to use i386 or amd64 debian? Then i decided to install first amd64 and take some measures for some days. After this i reinstall with the same software set and the same settings, but amd64 and did the the same measures. I don't remember whole results, but i know that with the i386 i was load about 0,12, but with amd64 it was only 0,04 (only DE working, no other work with software). From this time i am using amd64 OS (no matter Windows/Linux) for all computers, which has amd64 processor :-) There is one disadvantage, i read about it, that by using the 64bit pointers, the binaries size and memory requirements are on amd64 higher, than on i386. But bigger HDD and more RAM is no problem in these days. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
