What applications or usage scenarios get more out of your hardware as with 32bit / 64bit kernel? How much better are those on amd64?If you have over 3 GB of memory then you need 64 bit. Otherwise, it is mostly very specific scientific applications that need 64 bit: home users will see no benefit. In _most_ cases.
I imagine the arguments where similar when operating systems moved from 16 bit to 32 bit. ;)
