I'm running a triple-boot system with WinXP64, Fedora Core 4 i386 (32-bit), 
and FC4 x86_64 (64-bit). The last is mostly for playing with 64-bits when 
building apps, which as a rule want to be built "native". The 64-bit build 
will run 32-bit apps, but it's harder to build them there.

At this point I'd say Linux's 64-bit driver support is at least as good as 
that of XP64. Only recently did nVidia and Logitech come out with 64-bit 
drivers, and I can't use my Windows DVD software on that OS. (I have to run 
it on my old 32-bit box.)
