Stephen,

	Even though I expected to run into a "rough patch" here and there with 
the Athlon 64, I would still make the purchase again. I, too, am 
looking for the long term and expect this machine to replace one that 
has been in service for the last five years. Since FC3 is imminent, I 
expect that purchasing now has let me get over the 32-64 bit transition 
for all of my "special" tools - in my case, netatalk.

Andrew
