I have gone with 64bit so that I have my 8 GB available for blender.
I installed a chroot environment for ardour to allow for the vst
plugins. This was a little bit of a pain but it seems to work.
What I don't understand is why I can't create a binary package of
Ardour in the chroot environment and then install it in my multilib
64bit system. Otherwise, whats the point of multilib. I emailed
Diego Pettenò with the issue and he responded that that was problem
with gentoo's current use of separate directories for 32-bit and
64-bit libraries but that they were trying to fix the problem.
