Sounds good. Thanks to you and Glenn for the replies.

Most likely what I'll do is find some way to have both 32-bit and 64-bit
OS's on the same machine, so I can switch back and forth and move to native
64-bit apps and drivers as they come online. When the time comes I'll work
out how to do that -- dual boot, or an emulator like Xen, or what.
