I know it's anecdotal evidence, but whatever. I've been on 64 bit since '08,
when I got a laptop capable of it. It was a bit of a pain at the start,
especially with Flash, but to be honest, there haven't been many problems.
This has been my experience using 64 bit Ubuntu, Arch and Crunchbang. You
don't notice much of a difference really, as far as I can remember.
