x32 or x86? Cause X32 is the 32-bit-on-x86_64 ABI so you can get the benefit of the AMD64 instruction set and registers but without the overhead of 64-bit point

x32 or x86? Cause X32 is the 32-bit-on-x86_64 ABI so you can get the benefit of the AMD64 instruction set and registers but without the overhead of 64-bit pointers. (Of course you can't access beyond 4GB RAM.)
X32 is faster at some things, but it doesn't seem to have much support. But it would be a good idea for many things, like desktop apps that don't need a lot of memory.
