    I think the old saw I heard first about 1995 is, do not change your 
kernel unless the new kernel has something you need. My experience was 
looking for a kernel with the right WiFi in it and I found it. Installed 
by an RPM and my laptop now has WiFi. So change kernel worked.

    64 bit the same thing applies. Don't use it unless you need the 
advantages. As for Windows problems with 64 bit they asked for it.

    I have nothing I do that 64 bit will enhance. I will just struggle 
on with 32 bit.
