 From the time AMD launched the first x86_64 chip, most of us have been 
running 64 bit Linux on 64 bit CPUs. I was running 64 bit Linux on 
Alphas for years before that. Its a long long time since there were are 
real issues running 64 bit Linux. There are, however, a few programs 
that misbehave in odd ways when you run 32 bit Linux on 64 bit hardware. 
I assume its because those programs misinterpret the platform they are 
running on in some way. I've never taken the time to investigate. It 
makes far more sense to just install 64 Linux.
