My understanding is that there are still fewer 64-bit device drivers than 32-bit ones. I don't know. Only computer I've encountered that wouldn't run Linux was an old Dell; it would try to boot but nothing I tried would get it past freezing. But I'm a bottom feeder, 64-bit machines aren't in my price range.I hear that. Apparently the only 64-bit machines in my price range take the lowest bidder for wireless and audio chips.
Hmm, the Atheros wireless chipsets seem to have good support in general - I'd think one of theirs would work. Don't know about audio chips - my cheapie is an Intel and it works good enough for my composition work.
