My only compatibly issue was getting
the VPN tunnel that my job uses to work in 64 bit.
Juniper network-connect software on Ubuntu not sure what version,
but it was around 2011. My advice is to do a 64 bit install and
then do a tests with your personal list of high priority software.

Hi,
Even though I have 64bit hardware I always install the
32bit version of Linux. I do so because of the past
discussions on this list that made me believe the 32bit OS
was better because 64bit caching is actually slower due to
the requirement that the cache be filled to a certain
point before it is moved. I think I recall something
about the amount of RAM having some effect here also.
Using a 32bit version over a 64bit version seems counter
intuitive, however that is what I have taken away from
these conversations about 32bit vs 64bit Linux.
I'm using CentOS 6.x on a LAMP server that gets a low
amount of traffic. However I may make the jump to Linux
on my desktop this summer. (this will be my 3rd attempt to
become M$ free except one VM so I can use IE for testing)
I think all of my hardware is 64bit.
So that begs the question, is 32bit better than 64bit or
do I not understand the issue?
Thank you for your feedback.
