If you're going to go for an x86_64 distro, you might want to look at something other than Ubuntu. While it's probably the best 32-bit distro out there, there isn't an official Debian version for AMD64 yet, and so there have been reports of people having problems.

You might like to try Fedora (from Red Hat) or Suse instead -- from what I've read, they're reckoned to be the two best 64-bit distros.
