No problem, having an Acer 5672 with the core duo and an Apple Macbook 
with the Core2Duo, both are sweet processors.

I'm using Ubuntu (feisty) 64bit on the Macbook, and to be perfectly 
honest the only things that I'm personally having a problem with is 
wireless, but that's specific to the Macbook. In 64bit mode, I can't use 
ndiswrapper to get wireless working and the current native driver is 
very very alpha. With the 32bit version, I was able to use ndiswrapper 
to get wireless working perfectly. The only other things that I'm aware 
of that can be a problem is Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) doesn't work 
or is very difficult to get working (not that I use Wine) and Video 
codec's may also be a problem, until Automatix comes out with a 64bit 
version for Feisty. There is a version of Automatix64 for Edgy but I've 
never used it. I should note that Feisty's gstreamer support handles all 
the video/audio that I've thrown at it so far.

Regards,
Gord
