I'm quite grateful for the work being done on this, as I've finally 
scrounged up
the cash to purchase an AMD64 and motherboard. So, soon I'll be able to
contribute somewhat. I'll probably be doing dual boot.

I'm looking forward to being able to have a true 64-bit system :)

(soon to be)64-bit Dave
