Mine works better than any machine within the University of Salford. 64
bit Sempron 3000, FC5t1 - knocks the crap out of everything else
anywhere that I know of.

None more that you find for 32 bit, with the exception that Flash
doesn't work.

Depends on what you're doing. My one is great as both a server,
streaming server and desktop box - all at the same time!
