Actually, is there a compelling reason why you want 64-bit? Unless you
plan on using more than 4GB of ram, or you have one particular piece of
software that is only available in 64-bit flavor, there is no real
reason that I can tell to not get 32-bit. The incompatibility problems
outweigh any perceived advantages. For the most part, it's all
marketing -- "64 is more than 32, so it must be better".
