Re 9.3 in x86-64: how many 64 bit packages do you use? What is your primary 
browser? How often does it just crash? Can you access audio/video files, say 
from the tv networks? How often do apps just close without a warning or an 
error message? These and other things still keep my 9.3 in the "test" 
partition, all real work is done in 9.2. Have made progress, but still 
experience the arbitrary collapses of windows, especially in firefox. 
And please keep in mind that 9.2 is only another entry in Grub, so there are 
no hardware quality issues. 9.2 is stable, only closing kaffeine causes a 
window crash, all else is solid, albeit a bit slower that 9.3
