Hi,
I've put my vote in.
It wasn't anything specific, just a vague belief that more bits =
cooler, and a desire to keep the same architecture I had elsewhere.
Whilst this maybe the case ;-) more bits will mean that some programs
have a significantly larger memory footprint.
Beware the shiny! ;-)
I can sympathise with you tho': sometimes I have to jump through extra
hoops to build myself appropriate 32bit binaries for my VPS.
PS: If you want a 64bit architecture just for the sake of coolness I
recommend MIPS R12K, IA-64 or even UltraSPARC ;-)
Regards,
@ndy
