Also, note that floats work the same on both 32 and 64 bit machines (and both default to making Float64). Concerning ints: use Int64 if you need them for your code to be correct, otherwise use Int. (Maybe best to just use Int64 to be on the save side?)
This has been discussed on this list before, a search could turn up more details.
