The Real answer is:

No, you don't Need to. However it will be faster if you do, and if you 
plan to run any 64-bit compiled programs.

Besides the previously mentioned 64-bit distrubutions, theres also 
FC3-64 (Fedora Core), I currently using that, and I think Mandriva also 
has a 64-bit version. Woulden't be supprised if Suse had one too.
