I read some article in a Linux mag, forget which, but it noted that the with a 32bit system on an Opeteron, they were able to process roughly 1100 transactions per second, whatever that means...

If the apps you want don't run well in 64 bit environments then just install the 32-bit version.
It this is across the board, I would say the perfomance would be notable. Otherwise, they wouldn't make super computers around 64-bit processors, and just use Pentiums. :-)
