Some stuff is not available for the 64 bit arch, for example you have to
use a 32 bit firefox if you want to use flash. On the other hand, i
recently installed a 64 bit gentoo and it runs very well!, nevertheless,
i dont now if the speed increase is precisely enormous compared with a
32 bit system.
hope it helps
