As a Windows guy on a 32-bit machine (yes, yea, I know, I know, "that's old", "you should upgrade", etc), I always test 64-bit (on a 64-bit machine that I at least have access to) by using a 64-bit Debian 6 LiveDVD with USB persistence: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/live-dvd-but-save-to-usb-913698/#post4526688 I use that to do 64-bit testing right before any release. Not nearly as nice as -m64, but it works well enough for me. It sucks that you can't run a 64-bit OS in a VM without hardare virtualization (which many Intels don't have), even on a 64-bit machine with a 64-bit host OS (Hmm...or is that restriction only on 64-bit machines with 32-bit host OSes...? I forgot...).
