no contras these days
32-bit is legacy and over the long dead
i have migrated our last vm-guest these week to x86_64 and
installing since 2008 never ever any i686-machine
Big virtual process address space is the immediate benefit that comes to my mind. In 32 bit systems, 4G is the limitation of process address space.
For a new system. go 64 bit.
