I am thinking of dual-booting my computer with SUSE 10.1, and since my CPU is 64-bit compatible, I was considering the 64-bit version. Is this worth it? Does the 64-bit version of SUSE offer improvments over the 32-bit version? What about compatability? I have heard that there are problems with flash player working in a 64-bit enviroment, is this ture? If so, are there workarounds?

I've used both versions, and I think the 32bit is much better. You'd find the 64bit to not have quite as many programs it seems and driver support is lacking in linux in the 64 bit area still.

I'd stick with the 32bit version.

If you really want 64 bit then I'd use Gentoo with a 32 bit emulation layer. And I'd get on the Gentoo forms and maybe talk to theRemix, since I think his setup is like this.
