it seems that almost everybody I've talked to has advised me not to go with the 64 bit version of OpenSuse because there really is no speed advantage (if that's not good advice I'd like to hear otherwise). So then, if there is no speed advantage, what's the point in even having a 64 bit processor right now?
Looks like in all the descriptions no-onen clarified that openSUSE, of _all_ the Linux distributions out there, is pretty much the best for 64bit support. Unlike Debian and Ubuntu, it's BiArch compatible, so you can still get your favourite 32bit applications on it (and of course hence you can have flash etc on your 64bit install). In summary, you will get a performance improvement with some applications with a 64bit install, and you shouldn't really lose out in any way (on openSUSE).
