I respectfully disagree.  Even on x86, 64-bits are common, and the
price difference between 64-bit and 32-bit capable systems is small.
So apart from keeping old stuff working, I can think of little or no
justifcation to not go with 64-bit systems these days, even for a small
S10 plus ZFS NAS appliance.  That way you leave behind all the pain
32-bits gives you.
