Thanks Lonni!

I've heard the same things, but I thought it may be interesting to see
if there is any truth to it, or if the newer Java releases have fixed
those issues.

MSI K8MM-V (Socket 754)
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=647) for my development system. If all goes well, I may decide to use an AMD64 motherboard for the server I am planning to deploy in HK. 

Actually, I have a selfish reason for switching to 64-bit, and that is
because I am going to dual-boot from it, and run Warcraft, which I hear
is really awesome on 64-bit systems! If it doesn't run Fedora well, then
I can't justify the purchase, but if it does ... I think I'm going to be
wasting a lot of time soon ! ;)
