I put together a mythtv box with FC2-64bit (AMD) and it was tough to get 
all of the apps in 64bit (this was 6 months ago). I had to build most of 
them myself and I ended up with a fractured KDE environment on top of it 
all.
I could have gone the route of FC2-32bit and not worry about it -- but I 
didn't know there was so little support for 64-bit apps at the time. 
Most posts to this ml have suggested to stick with 32bit for now.

So, I'm curious to hear the responses of Frank's message.
