It should be noted that according to most benchmarks I've seen, the
amd64 chips are the fastest 32-bit chips available. So, even if
you're not using the full 64-bit capability in your apps (or even just
running them purely in 32-bit mode), you're in the green. There are
other advantage to them (like register space) than simply the 32/64
split.
And don't forget bragging rights! Servers always run faster when
they're cool...
