Anyhow, I now have my myth box up and running with an smp kernel on a P4 630+. Jarod suggests in FC4 install guide that x86_64 is less stable than 32bit, and I have not yet heard any potential benefits of using x86_64 linux for a myth box.
So then, might I see significantly faster transcode times were I to switch to a 64 bit installation? The only transcoding I am interested in is from DVD to mpeg4, if that somehow makes a difference.

I've run 64-bit since my first DEC 21064 (aka "alpha") machine.
Frustrating at times, but fun, and really great for video transcoding
work.
I've found Gentoo's support for 64-bit hardware to be quite good,
it's only the proprietary stuff (Flash?) that still gives trouble at
times.
