[LAU] 64 bit systems

I am almost convinced that I want to go Linux audio in my studio. I
have a x64 3ghz dual core AMD based box that is my dedicated DAW. I am
now deciding which distro to use that will give me stable performance
with minimum effort.

64 Studio would seem like an obvious choice but because I would like
to have VST's available, I seem to recall that is a possible issue?

Beyond that, is there any other advantage(s) to using a x64 OS other
than RAM access beyond 4gb? Is there any 32 bit OS performance
degradation when installed on a x64 machine?

Thanks,
Russell
