hey, i recently had to remove gentoo from my desktop and install suse, well good news suse sucks i'm coming back.. anyway i was thinking of installing the 64bit version but i want to know if i'll face some issues, i have an ATI video card.. so are the drivers good enough? the main programs i'll be needing are gnome mono monodevelop eclipse anjuta glade and many java programs in addition to some kde apps and firefox and flash probably also movies.. i know the issues with flash and mplayer these are not really a big deal, are there major issues on amd64 with the apps i mentioned above or with my ATI X300 video card,
thank you in advance

I could never get firefox-bin to use my gtk theme/preferences personally. Other then that and having to unmask a bunch of stuff things seem to be working ok.
