As AMD64 allows for a 32bit environment you can always run anything that
doesn't work in 64bit land in there.  Personally I haven't found it a
problem.  I've deliberately kept my workstation 64-bit clean and I
haven't bothered installing flash and those other web plugins that
everyone thinks are necessary these days.  I get *no* flash ads :-)

If I really do want to watch web-video (like utube) I use clive to
extract and pull it and then watch it later without any of the
stuttering because my web link is slow/busy.
