Well I've recently joined the 64 bit class!
I've done a lot of reading about CPUs/Mobos to make an educated purchase so I could probably help out if anyone has any questions.
I was a little daunted by all the talk of BTX and PCI Express but I realised that I'd be better off getting a system now since I've already purchased an AGP based vid card only a month or two ago. Anyways I decided to go for it and now I have a relatively reliable (apart from a few problems lol) 64 bit system.
Btw, I originally wrote a lot more here but it expanded so big it became a thread of its own. If you want my advice on building a 64bit rig see my post:
