The primary reasons I stick with 32-bit are: - multimedia (w32codecs for example)
Seems to work fine here. I use mplayer with win32codecs all the time on my 64-bit 11.0 installation.
- browser plugins
Was a problem from a Java standpoint until Sun released the beta of the 64-bit plugin. nspluginwrapper solved the problem for Flash for those who absolutely had to have it, but now there's a 64-bit flash plugin as well.
- gaming (Wine/Cedega particularly)
Can't comment on that as I don't use them. There are 64-bit WINE packages and I assume they work OK, but I do my Windows stuff in VMware which runs on both 32- and 64-bit systems just fine.
