I switched to 64-bit with 12.04, and have not noticed anything at all.

It will be a fresh install. So far I've always gone for the 32-bit version and had next to no problems, either with the OS or applications. Conscious of the need to keep up with the times, I'm considering 64-bit next time. Are there any real advantages or would I be unlikely to notice any significant difference?
