I've installed FC3 on my AMD64 (x86_64). Motherboard is MSI with VIA 8237 
chipset and nVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card. Samsung SATA hard disk. 
Had only one problem only once. The installation exited with a message 
"installation terminate abnormally". I tried installing again and it 
worked fine. It seems to be very stable compared to FC2, atleast on my 
system.
