So running a 64bit kernel to cater for the bigger address space and a 32bit userland can sometimes be the better option. YMMV
Been running straight 64bit for a couple of years now without problems. There might be things that might require 32bit but it's handled pretty seamlessly these days. You install the 64bit packages and they take care of the problems.
