Question 1
I installed the 64 bit version. Can I install Linux64 bit drivers for the
motherboard, netcard etc?
Yes.
Question 2
Besides the desire to game, why wouldn't a typical home user want a linux
based system? Heck all of the apps seem free, its graphical, even supports
my camera out of the box. I mean for just word processing, surfing the
internet and looking at pics and playing some mp3's is there a valid reason
for them 'wanting' Windows?
If they want to surf websites that require IE and ActiveX controls, yes.
MP3 support is not native in most non commercial Linuxes.
Oddball Windows only apps (like the Ikea Kitchen Planner I downloaded
last night) that will only work on Windows.
