Yep, running AMD64 at home. For the most part, no problems. I've got
nspluginwrapper installed - and it was working at one point, but
doesn't seem to be any longer (not sure why). I did notice that Firefox
had problems with having tv.yahoo.com up AND another flash site
(youtube, google video, etc.) in different tabs or windows running
through the same instance; seems to work okay if you use profiles to
run multiple instances.

The only other issue I've run into is having a good port of Java for
the 64-bit environment - Sun's JDK builds to the 32-bit right now;
would be nice for it to support 64-bit too.

Overall, with my 1 GB RAM, AMD Athon AMD64 3200+ I really like running
it in the 64-bit mode. Things work pretty well, and I have no
complaints whatsoever - of course, it probably helps I have other
non-64-bit systems to mitigate any issues, like the Flash issue.
