I'd have to agree - Flash up until Ubuntu 10.10 for me was a series of
small annoyances only less bothersome than using a Free alternative.
(Example: the YouTube flash bits wouldn't react properly to mouse-click
events consistently. Sometimes yes, more often no.) All of these
issues seem to be resolved with Meerkat.

On the whole, though, the only motivation I have for 64 bit processors
is access to more memory. Gotta feed bloated applications and virtual
machines something that isn't my sanity.
