Does anyone have experience running a 32-bit-only OS on Opterons? Are there any gotchas?

We've been running RHEL3 in 32 bit mode on Sun v40z's (rebadged Newisys boxes) for almost a year at work. No issues other than the usual goofiness about Broadcom network chips, etc. Note: I would NOT recommend the v40z or the straight Newisys box. They are poorly implemented platforms.
