I would want to run say 8 1GByte 32-bits images. That's currently
EUR 134 at my local shop.

I would hope there would be less issues running multiple 32-bits images
concurrently on a 64 bit machine.
One of the remarks on the faq is strange:
> Why isn't there an officially-released 64-bit image?

There are lots of problems where people want to make a
space/time/development-time trade-off. 70 Euros worth of space
is a silly limit.
