advantages of going 64-bit are still not much and the difficulties are considerable.
Is it just that you should have applications compiled for 64-bit (so the usual problems with proprietary vendors refusing to support anything besides i386 or i686) or are there more?
At least with x86-64 platforms, there's the possibility of using i386 a lot more painlessly than most platforms.
