You could try looking at the Hypergrid Business list

There can be more issues with 64 bit (for instance, I've seen jpeg2000 sculpt decode issues on 64 bit linux that I don't 
see on 32 bit).  So on balance, I would recommend 32 bit just now.  Having said that, I haven't done much running of 
OpenSim on 64 bit Windows.
