If you're doing video manipulation (editing, encoding, transcoding), you
may be better off with 32 bit for now. If you're using stuff from your
Wintendo in Linux using some derivative of wine or ndis-wrappers or
whatnot, you may experience trouble. If you use stuff other people don't
that was written for use on 32 bit Intel CPUs and maybe requires fixing
before it'll run properly on 64 bit or non-Intel CPUs, you probably want
to stick with 32 bit.
Otherwise, 64 bit OS works fine.
