I agree with everyone else, but I should mention one
thing they didn't: this only applies if it's not an
Itanium (which is rare anyway).  If it's an AMD or
Intel P4 or better series with the x86-64 instruction
set, you're fine.

Personally, I'll be dropping SlamD64 on my laptop
(yes, for those watching, I still haven't got off my
butt and done it yet!) which is a dual 32/64 bit
Slackware (which I've run for well over a decade).

BTW, as of this moment I intend to be at the West
Valley Installfest this weekend. (Nice to have one
here in the West for a change: not so much gas!)
I say this moment because, with my job, sometimes my
schedule can change day to day. :(
