Nice one Jon - congrats and I hope you enjoy your brave new world. I'm longing to try out an AMD64 system, but it will probably have to wait a bit longer. I think I'll go the mega-laptop route - something about having portable 64-bit power appeals to me! But they're still rather pricey, and as you discovered, Gentoo (my distro of choice) isn't quite fully there on the AMD64 support yet.

What I'm really looking forward to is games that properly make use of the 64-bit stuff; the UT2004 demo already performs well on an Athlon XP 2500+ system, but I'd love to see a full 64-bit build of that screaming along....
