On our 2 colo servers we have one with i386/i686 only and on the other
we are x86_64 only. Everything works (typical LAMP / Sendmail etc
install)
I just followed the intstructions from the centos wiki

i used to regret the lack of a 64 bit native flash plugin which was

but now that you-tube can serve html5 i no longer care
