32 or 64 bit Mandriva

2012-04-20 Thread Shlomo Solomon
I'm about to upgrade my Mandriva 2010 to 2011 and want to decide if I should go to 64 bit. I know that years ago, when the first 64 bit versions came out there were alot of problems (drivers, flash, Firefox ...). In any case, I never bothered to check each time I updated and stayed with 32. Tod
