  Have you considered simply pretending that it's a 32-bit machine, and
running in 32-bit mode?  Right now, there's no "64-bit-only killer-app".
The AMD64 is *NOT* an Itanium with crummy 32-bit emulation.  You don't
really lose anything by running in 32-bit mode.  It solves the hassle of
dealing with 32-bit-only stuff like Flash, codecs, Realplayer, etc, etc,
because you are really running in 32-bit mode.
