I am using Ubuntu 9.10 x64, and Adobe Flash works out of the box here
(provided that System::Preferences::Appearance::Visual Effects is set to
None).

The only problems are with MS Silvrelight sites.

I suppose all these apply to Ubuntu 32-bit too.

May you provide a web site where flash doesn't work with Ubuntu x64, but
it works with Ubuntu x86?

Thank you.
