I "only" have 4 GiB and I used 64-bit architecture with less than 4 GiB
too. IMO using 64-bit is better than to use 32-bit.
Your arguments may be true for Debian, because of their program that
allows use of 32-bit software on a 64-bit system.
Other distros do not have that ability, and there are some good reasons
not to use a 64-bit system on something
like PCLOS if that's the only Linux distro you have. Some software is
just not available for 64-bit systems, because
of the libraries.
