I looked into installing the 64-bit version of Mandriva when I discovered my cpu was 64-bit capable, but concluded at the time that there was no real advantage on this machine since the maximum RAM is less than 4 GB. So far, I've been happy with that, but in light of recent development, is there any reason why I should reconsider?
Outside of the large memory support on 64 bit, it also uses the additional registers a x86_64 processor has available. This should result in a performance improvement on your computer, though I'm unsure how noticable this is.
