Well, having been inspired by your post, and a certain amount of boredom, I 
changed my install to 64bit :) I had an existing Intrepid (8.10) 32 bit, so 
decided on Intrepid64.

Went very smoothly, I elected to do a fresh install from scratch while 
preserving my existing home directory. Probably took 20 minutes all up. 
Everything is working exactly as it was before - applications, nvidia drivers, 
flash etc.

So I'd like to say I have 64 bit experience, but really it was no different 
from the 32 bit install at all.

I'd go with Kubuntu Intrepid 64 bit myself, its been trouble free. Can't speak 
to your hardware though, must admit mine is recent and fairly standard.
