Thx for the advice,
It doesn't really make sense for me to switch over to 64 bits at the moment 
anyway, since I'm only using 512M of RAM.
I think I'll take your advice and just wait for Debian to catch up.
I can drive myself crazy with trying to hook up RAID and overclocking this 
thing in the meantime.

I don't think I'm willing to go that far.
Debian is my zombie lord, I shall not forsake her.
