32bit vs 64bit

[Bingo]

Read this for a comparison in performance for 32 bit, and 64 bit linux:
http://bingouv.blogspot.com/2008/08/desktop-linux-performance-comparison32.html.

To summarize, you will notice the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit for
CPU intensive tasks. But it won't change the world. This comparison is based
on Fedora-9.

thanks
