Paul,
If you are going to go 64 bit, I'd recommend going with either 9.04 or
9.10 Ubuntu. The 64bit support improved a lot from 08 to09.

"What were once minuscule workplace annoyances are now major priority
issues. Like noisy fans and power supplies ! ANYONE who complains about
a noisy fan or power supply needs to spend a week or two in the presence
of a PUNCH CARD machine. Three weeks later, when they recover their
sanity, give them their old computer back. See if they complain. I THINK
NOT !" --— Simon Travaglia (the B.O.F.H.).
