Judging by the problems a lot of software has running on a sparc 64
instead of i386, I would stick with 32 bit stuff for now.  Unless you
need (and have more than 3G) more, 64 bits doesn't buy you much.
All too often people write software with the "All the world's a 386"
mentality, creating problems on big-endian and 64 bit arches.

If somone can come up with reasons to go 64 bit I'm all ears.
