Although that OS and pretty much all FOSS applications run just fine
in 64 bit, the biggest problem that I've seen is Flash. Some hardware
run Flash 64 bit just fine, and some hardware give terrible problems.
I recommend booting into a 64 bit LiveCD and installing Flash. If you
can play youtube videos and click to the different parts of the video,
then you're fine and you can go ahead and install the 64 bit OS.

Note that if you are stuck on 32 bit and you have 4+ GB of RAM, you
should install the PAE kernel.
