My setup is fairly standard (as I described), should I expect problem with

Like I said, I don't run 64-bit OSes because I prefer compatibility.
Believe me, the instant you run into some quirky problem with either the
kernel or any of its subsystems, or a third-party program (from ports or
otherwise), the first thing you'll be told is "it works for me on i386,
have you tried i386?"

I think this assertion is false. amd64 is pretty well supported and
run by an increasing number of users and developers.
