gnu/linux on AMD: 64-bit or 32-bit?

http://www.testdrive.hp.com/current.shtml  wow!
"We now have Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4.0 running in TestDrive on an 
Integrity rx8620 with sixteen 1.5GHz Itanium processors."  that's porn 
to a geek right there.

i was in bestbuy last week and found on the busted up item sale rack an 
hp media center pc, m7334n tower for $600.  Athon x2, 2 GB RAM, all the 
cards except a wireless.  Installed FC5 and other than an overly fast 
clock that i'll fix this evening i'm quite pleased.  don't have much to 
add the discussion other than i've had no more difficulty using 64-bit 
than 32-bit.  every fresh install seems to develop into it's own unique 
learning experience.  :)  fortunately there's a ton of other people 
doing the same thing with plenty of info available on the net.  soon all 
us home linux users will be 64-bit anyway, i think.  might as well begin 
playing with it.
