The main reason I tried Linux was for the 64bit support. I wasn't prepared to shell out for another version of XP.

I'm running the AMD64-smp kernel right now, and the only issue that I can't seem to straighten out is with my Audigy 2ZS. For some reason, setting 5.1 under Xine causes a hardlock, and I have yet to get my remote working for my LiveDrive.

I've read on the forums that many people are having problems with the smp version of the kernel when using X2 processors, but I haven't had any issues. I installed the normal AMD64 version first, and then did a command line install of the smp kernel.

Also, I've heard horrow stories of ATI and AMD64 as well, but I've got nVidia gfx so I can't confirm that. I plan on using Ubuntu on my other PC (which is ATI) but I won't be running AMD64 on that one.
