If that machine isn't connected to the internet -- then you probably don't use it anyway: but Quicktime has problems running under 64 bit. Although I've heard that there's a workaround. But I haven't tried it myself. I've also heard that iTunes won't work at all under 64 bit -- but I don't use that, so it's not an issue for me.
The main 64 bit compatibility problems that I've seen have to do with peripherals -- printers, scanners, syncing with mobile devices etc.. There you might run into some difficulty -- although in my experience with 64 bit so far: the advantages of a 64 bit OS far outweigh any minor compatibility glitches that you might have. Plus there's the fact that you've got dual boot -- so you can still run something on the 32 bit side if you have to. Although I admit that I hate being forced to do that. It's like taking a step backwards.
