In my experience for example, setting up nVidia drivers was completely different for amd64 as it was for x86... i.e. x86 you could install the nvidia drivers using the install script from the nvidia website, and on amd64 you have to compile a kernel module yourself.
In my experience installing nvidia drivers is done the same way on x86
and amd64 using nvidia-kernel-source package. No difference I can tell
at least.

Most settings are the same on all debian architectures. Only driver
settings differ, and in the case of 64bit systems there is the whole
32/64bit biarch mess.
