To go 64 or not to go, that is the question

[Simon Skogh]

I got a new rig in the works, and it'll be running an AMD Athlon 64 and
I was curious about the state of Ubuntu 64-bit. After doing a quick
Google search, I was handed many a forum-post asking for help on
problems, but most of these dated back to 2005 and was about Hoary or
Breezy.

So what's the "current" state of the 64 bit distro, are people still
having problems with Java and Flash (i.e. more so than would a 32-bit
user)? Is it just as nice and stable as "regular" Dapper?

I'd definitely prefer running the 64-bit version, but if there's alot of
problems with it still, I'll just stick to the old one.

Thanks in advance for any and all input!
