Not to argue that i386/PAE is just as functional as amd64, but having an i386 
installation is useful for some applications that only work on 32-bit, such as 
wine, though I believe there is early development for 64-bit.

I want to test and hopefully benefit from MS-Windows functionality, but this 
does not bar having amd64 and i386 installations on different (GPT) partitions 
or different drives.

I want to do that with FreeBSD (wine) and Linux where I'd have better chance of 
success than with NetBSD.
