Hi there,
I cannot totally agree with dowdle. I am running a CentOS 5 x64_86 install and I can make use of vzyum. Problem is, you have to do some hackery with i386 libraries to get it working and it realy is no let-go thing.
As I am using vzyum, I have setup several templates by also hacking up i386-templates. So far all is working nicely!
But about the usage perspective. It took me several weeks to get it all done, to be truthfull I cannot even recall everything I did (but there are several forum postings one can search for). Anyhow I don't have problems with running i386 nodes on a x64 host, an dual opteron 240 btw. The system has 4 GB of RAM and some more slots open to grow, so that way I still have some perspective in upgrading the system without mess. In the moment I cannot see what happens when you give a i386-node more then 4 GB of RAM. I guess it isn't a big problem, as memory is being handled by the x64 kernel.
All in all, as I see it, x64 is still something special. I would prefer it on HN, as I think PAE and stuff is a bit of hack.

This doesn't look comfortable...
