Just because I'm curious, why did you do this anyway?  I understand that
the box doesn't NEED it, but it can take advantage of it, and it's the
same price so why not run the distro that takes full advantage of the
capabilities?  We've got several applications that see significant
performance improvement running on the 64-bit version rather than the
32-bit version.
