wine is 32 bit. (Though that is changing.) But you can still install
it
If you use proprietary browser plugins or do development where you
build 32 bit apps or libraries, you will need the 32 bit versions of
some things installed in addition to the 64 bit versions.
You should be able to get pretty much anything that works on a 32 bit
x86 system to work on a 64 bit x86 system.
Thanks Bruno.
I sorta thought that to begin with (with reservations of course). I
wanted a tab of feedback before I wipe my 32-bit install in favor of
64.
Thanks for the replies.
