64-bit vs 32-bit

Tue Aug 1 17:10:03 UTC 2006

I'm building a 64-bit sempron desktop system for a novice user who's used to Windows.  I know it's possible to set up a chroot environment to run 32-bit plugins for the browser, but for a non-sophisticated user that seems like it would be hard to maintain updates, etc.

 Will there be much of a performance hit if I run 32-bit Kubuntu on a 64-bit machine?  It seems like a simpler way of handling the plugin problem.
