Fellow co-listers: Right now, on my machine, there's a 64bit FC4. The CPU is an Athlon64 3000+ with 512MB 400Mhz RAM. Graphics are handled by a GeForce 5200 with 128MB. HD is a 160GB 7200RPM Hitachi SATA. I'm downloading both x86-64 and i386 versions of FC5, so the big question is: should I "downgrade" to i386 in order to get all firefox plugins, less compilation hassles when compiling 3rd-party stuff, and (mainly) shockwave/flash (unfortunately, most web pages, including home banking ones, use flash in my country, so there's no way to avoid it). Or should I stick to the 64bit version and face all the inconveniences that I have now? Quick answer would be: if you can handle the hassle, keep 64. But the deeper question here is: is it worth it to face all the hassle? Are there really significant differences in performance?
