You will pay a performance penalty if you run 32-bit on a 64-bit system. You may also not be able to access all your RAM, or will access it less efficiently (assuming you're using more than 4GB, of course). Most of the downsides of 64-bit are in end-user applications like browser plugins and such, but you can always run them 32-bit under AMD64 anyway with the help of ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk, or under a 32-bit chroot. -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
