Is it worth installing the 64 bit version instead of the 32bit? I know there used to be lots of problems with apps and plugins not working well with the 64 bit (flash for example) and the feedback seemed to be that there was little performance benefit. However, I saw a phoronix test that showed some big performance gains over the 32 version and wondered what the current situation is.
I don't need it for memory as I only have 2GB but my cpu is getting on a bit (AMD Athlon 64 3000) and any extra performance would be nice.
Are there many current problems with the 64bit version wrt apps, addons etc?
thanks
