I'm putting together a new system and I'm considering going 64-bit.
Is the benefit of such a system pretty much speed?  What are the
drawbacks of using a 64-bit system with Gentoo?

Some stuff is not available for the 64 bit arch, for example you have to use a 32 bit firefox if you want to use flash. On the other hand, i recently installed a 64 bit gentoo and it runs very well!, nevertheless, i dont now if the speed increase is precisely enormous compared with a 32 bit system.

hope it helps
