upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy

I am currently running a 64bit Gutsy and a 32bit Gutsy on 2 different
computers which both have very similar specs (the one running 32bit has a
better graphics card).

The 64bit computer is noticeably faster, and has had no problems whatsoever
(except of course with its ATI graphics card...but this has nothing to do
with the architecture) and I am planning on wiping the 32bit for a 64bit
install whenever I get the time.

Hopefully this helped your decision,
Elpram
