Too late, I already started.
As for the 64 bit issue, I've been using the 64 bit version of 8.04 for 
over a year on a homebuilt desktop without any real issues. I guess it 
matters which programs you're partial to, and what you expect from them.

I didn't really plan to use the 32 bit version anyway. It was just a 
matter of having a new toy :)


I'll let you know soon how it goes. The install is just finishing.
