Good news for x86_64 systems

[Wilbur Harvey]

I installed the 1276_64 kernel.
Open Office works.
VMware, using vmware-any-any-90 compiles, but hangs when trying to open 
a virtua machine
Sometimes a hang when accessing cifs shares (linux also sees old copies 
of files from a 2003 server share)
Second marvell pci-express GigE controller on NForce4 Ultra Giabyte MB 
still doesn't work.
