Hmm...I was going to say "I thought Core 2 Duo was 64bit," but I guess
  that's just their mobile processor. And that says it has 64 bit "support,"
  which leaves questions to be answered.
  I'm in the same boat. I'm probably going to buy AMD hardware, but something
  inside my soul keeps screaming "core 2 duo!"
  
  Any suggestions?
Yes. Read this:

and
