I've got my new Dell laptop with Intel(r) CoreTM 2 Duo T7200 (2.00GHz,
4MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB) processor. Can I install Fedora i386 on it,
or should I go with x64? I've heard that x64 has many, many problems
with 32 bit apps, such as firefox. I use Swiftfox (an optimized
firefox build) quite often. Other apps that I use often are the whole
KDE suite, OpenOffice, Opera, mPlayer, F-Spot, and Skype.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
