the skinny on ubuntu 64 bit

I'm a first time linux user, considering installing ubuntu linux. I have an AMD athlon 64 proc, and so I am wondering if I should install the 64 bit ubuntu or the regular one... my concern is whether I will have trouble finding 64 bit driver support? I looked and saw ATI has 64 bit linux drivers, but i'm not sure how widespread they are?

?? that's just the install guide, it doesn't mention how widespread 64 bit driver support is for linux... all im wondering is if there is any downside to installing ubuntu 64bit
