I have an amd64 running in 64 bit mode. There honestly isn't much reason to get a 64 if you are going to run in 32 bit mode...They are way more expensive than the 32 bit counterparts and don't offer enough extra in 32 bit mode. In 64 bit mode there are some issues with audio applications. Some instabilities and strange behaviors. For instance ardour does odd things and sometimes freezes when you close it. Jack then thinks ardour is still running when you try and start it again...don't know which is having the bug. So, if you want to build an audio machine I would not necissarily get an AMD64. In fact I have recently been thinking of replacing mine with a 32 so it works better.
