I've been using amd64 two years now, and the only 32 bit applications |
| 6 |
that *I* use are firefox-bin and mplayer-bin. With swfdec[1] getting |
| 7 |
better and better, the former will be unnecessary soon (I hope); and I |
| 8 |
haven't used the later in a *long* time (almost *all* videos are even |
| 9 |
handled by Totem/GStreamer now, if you unmask and install all the |
| 10 |
gst-plugins). |

I don't know about the speed difference, but it's really not too much |
| 13 |
pain to use amd64. |
