Brandon,
   I run 64-bit Gentoo on my AMD64 desktop here. I find no advantages
with audio software yet running 64-bit and a large number of
disadvantages, mostly having to do with web browsing. I have no
experience with 64-bit Fedora but I imagine that most of the problems
I've had with Flash, win32codecs, Java and multimedia embedding in
Firefox are pretty distro independent at this point.

   If I were in your place I would almost certainly install a 32-bit distro.

My 2 cents,
Mark
