Yeah, but the 64-bit version is already installed. I just don't
care. If I can't watch something I really need to I can just as well
do it on my 32-bit laptop.
By the way, strictly speaking it is not quite true that there is no
penalty in running a mix. For instance, you will have to keep two sets
of shared libraries in memory. Of course, it is a silly argument for
an unloaded home system with a gig of RAM...
