    The last I looked, yeah.  But I'd run both, and here's why.

    I had a very NON-tech friend with a surprisingly nice eMachines
64-bit machine.  We tried the 64 first; we were impressed with the
speed, smoothness.  But then we just decided to run 32, since the codecs
are easier to install (that is, painless.)

    I love the idea of running it 'full throttle', but it's just easier
for most folks to go 32, especially if you don't want to invest the
time/effort, or you're new to Linux.
