This is not necessarily relevant to real-world performance. Both
architectures have their strengths and weaknesses and you really need
to make a decision based on how your own application

I spent all of last weekend trying to do this, with no solution
determined. I read a
Hi!
drwxr-xr-x ... lib32
drwxr-xr-x ... lib64
lrwxr-xr-x ... lib - lib${ARCH_BITS}
ARCH_BITS would be set to 64 globally, and it would be
set to 32 for i386 applications. Then every program
would find the correct libs automagically.

Dunno about PAE on i386 (and don't much care). As it happens,
my amd64 box is hardly higher end, but it has slots for 4GB and
its doco claims that it can run with 4GB. However, to my great
displeasure, I discovered after setting it up that both its BIOS
