	-- Running Fedora 8 x86_64, works great. Only issues are binary-only software: NSpluginwrapper lets you use 32 bit browser plugins. Skype can't run under 64bit pulseaudio. Everything else works out of the box. As for PAE, thats a temporary hack and evolutionary dead end; But as long as you don't run into its limitations its good enough.		-- Running Fedora 8 x86_64, works great.

	-- 64-bit on the T60p (with the appropriate core2 duo processor upgrade) works fine. You can still run 32-bit applications on it for those cases where there is no 64-bit version yet (e.g. Wine). No reason the 61p would be different in that regard. Whether you care about being able to run 64-bit applications at all is up to you. --[[User:noahf\|noahf]] 13:03, 11 January 2008 (PST)		-- 64-bit on the T60p (with the appropriate core2 duo processor upgrade) works fine.
