The AMD Athlon64 is the ideal machine to run the 32-bit version of Linux. At the same "nominal" speed, the Athlon64s run smoother (i.e., faster) than anything I have seen. Regarding FC3 x86_64, unless you have a huge memory requirement, I have not found any advantage of runing the 64-bit version of anything (yet). For novices, or even for most experienced users, stay with the 32-bit version for now.

I want to load Fedora Core 3 on a AMD Athlon64 machine for a novice user. I have installed FC3 x86_64 on Athlon64 machines before but found no java or flash browser plugins. The i386 version of FC3 boots on my Athlon64 and I was wondering if I can install the FC3 i386 on the Athlon64. Would this allow the novice to have working java and flash plugins? Alternatively, if there is a way to get java and flash plugins to work on FC3 x86_64, I'd love to hear it.
