"...and yes, Wine is a nightmare."
I'm not sure where this comes from since throughout most of the last year, I ran Cedega on Gentoo without issue. That said, in May my subscription ran out. After running 32-bit Ubuntu for about a month before switching back to 64-bit Gentoo.
Anyway, the last 3 releases of Wine have compiled and run fine on 64-bit Gentoo. I have already logged many hours of StarCraft and Diablo 2. As a bonus, all my apps from <a href="http://portableapps.com/" title="portableapps.com">http://portableapps.com/</a portableapps.com> run nearly perfect!
Also, try copying 20GB of data betweeen drives on an amd64 using a 32-bit OS, and a 64-bit OS. In my experience the 64-bit OS blows away the 32-bit OS in situations like these.
