Depends a lot on the code[tm].

Okay, so you won't need one of the main features of 64bit machines -
larger addressable space of RAM.
Will you do number crunching with floating point numbers or with
large integers?
If not, then you won't use those advantag

Hello,
Having got a virgin dual core (Intel D 805) I'm about to install Gentoo on it.
I was wondering what would be best. If I understand it right, I could compile
an x86_64 version, but I was thinking it would be more compatible to stay
with the 32bit for now.
Any experience?
