I have in the past. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64, but 64-bit OS' proved
too much of a hassle. In the case of Linux it was stuff like browser
plugins. And inevitably I'd want an obscure app that was only compiled
for 32-bit.

Not to mention, if you don't have at least 4GB of RAM ,there is really
no advantage advantage to running 64-bit over 32-bit anyway.
