Dear Jan,
I am using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu plus CCP4 without
any porblems. The only application that needed the 32-bit
libraries was the flash plugin for firefox. It seems that not
all useful applications have been converted to 64-bit. Using
the two libraries together has not been a problem.
Having multiple processors will not necessarily make the
run-time for a single application faster. If your favourite
applications have parallelised versions then this could make a
big difference.
