You might also want to take a look at a poll I did on the forums awhile 
back. It was posted in the Cafe so the average user could vote. While it 
isnt a scientific poll It does show some interesting things.

2 times as many people with 64 bit systems run the 32bit version because 
they percieve something is missing. Of those with a 32bit system more than 
twice as many plan to buy a 64bit system next compired to those that  plan 
to buy a 32bit one.
