(Although I doubt many have used those before.) They were running at 64 bits when I was still in diapers. =P Well... not really... but it's fun to say!
I'd also have to concur with the nVidia chipset recommendation. I've used a lot of hardware in my time and found good and bad chipsets with just about every manf.
