the "advantage" would be the diff between having it and not, as opposed
to having it in 64-bit versus 32-bit.

Modern 64-bit installs do not install all the 32-bit runtimes needed
to run 32-bit programs, so having to use a 32-bit program can be painful,
give you'd need to install a bazillion other files just to accommodate
that one proggy.
