I'm running 64-bit and it hasn't been a problem, but I see no
advantages and a certain number of limitations. If my machine was to
die a hardware death tomorrow I'd likely get a new quad core 64-bit
processor and run 32-bit Gentoo on it. 64-bit is fine technically, but
none of the technical advantages are necessary for anything I do -
Jack, Ardour, composing, mixing and mastering, and sometimes the get
in the way. Why bother?
Just my 2 cents, and likely not what others will answer.
Good luck with what ever you do.
