I have an AMD 64x2 that I have been using only in x86 mode since I got
it. I have been thinking of going to x86_64 mode but I'm wondering if
it's worth the trouble with multilib, chroot'ing, firefox-bin and other
compromises (admittedly some minor). I realize I should see some speed
increase but probably only in certain areas such as compiling.
So, for those users who have used both, is it worth it overall?
I've used both and don't notice any difference for the stuff I'm using
my computer for.
Only 32bit application I'm using is firefox.
I'm not sure if compiling is faster because I let emerge run in the
background while watching a movie.
Overall it works fine for me but I don't see much difference comparing
my install to a 32bit install.
