     Notsure if your problems with 64 bit is machine spcific but I am 
using that very same software
on a Dell INspiron 64 bit. Works the best than any of the different 
machine I have tried. I brought
the machine home and did a complete HD  format. Then installed 
Ubuntu-US-CA 64 and rebooted.
This machine super fast and autoupdates.  This is being sent to you on 
this very same unit.

     My wifes twin has Windows7 and she hates it. She is a game player 
so she has to use it this way.
