64bit with 32bit clients

Right now I'm using 8.04 i386. One of the only reasons I am, actually, 
was that the AMD64 versions of Ubuntu wouldn't load correctly when I 
first installed them on my HP ML370G5 servers (this was back in the Edgy 
days). Also, I was testing one after that and there were some strange 
printing issues from Firefox as well as some other non-mission-critical 
weirdnesses when using the i386 clients. I'm pretty sure those things 
have been ironed out since then, though. YMMV. Anyone else using AMD64 
w/i386 clients care to give their experiences?

Cheers,
Jordan/Lns
