Just checked back and I see many more responses.  We have a couple
research machines.  Both are 64 bit machines, one AMD and now one
Xeon.  The AMD machine is running 32bit and I wanted to be sure I
could have compatibility between the two.  Currently I have 64bit
installed on the Xeon machine and we're testing it out.  We may end up
installing 64 on the AMD machine as well.
