ldd will tell you, but there is a single rpm which installs most of the 
libraries, IIRC. The advantage is that it makes it easy to get rid of all the 32 
bit stuff later.

I put an install of 32 bit FC13 in a VM, and tested there. I am not sure going 
64 bit has gained me a thing over 32 bit, but I want to see if a 64 bit system 
will do everything without giving up and using 32 bit stuff. Most of my friends 
64 bit systems have a lot of 32 bit because there's no 64 bit version, or the 64 
bit version doesn't quite work right, etc.
