My _opinion_: I don't think it is worth it. I run 32 bit Fedora on my 64 bit workstation, I found there were too many problems for me getting 64 bit version of all the software I wanted (although I believe these can be overcome with enough effort). It also seems to me on my machine there was no noticeable difference between the performance of the 32 and 64 bit versions of the OSes. On the other hand, if the money isn't that important, you might want to get a 64bit processor for future proofing. Steve -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
