Linux 32 / 64 bit support

As our department is phasing out 32 bit machines, it's becoming increasingly difficult for us to support a 32-bit Linux build. It would be most convenient for us to to discontinue support of 32 bit Linux and switch to 64 bit Linux (other platforms would be unaffected). So I wanted to ask the Foldit Linux users, what would they think of that change? Should be continue supporting 32 bit Linux instead of 64 bit? Are most of you using 32 bit or 64 bit machines?

I would think most people running Foldit on Linux are using 64 bit hardware and OS. There should have been a 64 bit client available for a while now.
