My MDV2006 machine is also x86_64.  In my case Athlon dual-core,
4400+ I just reinstalled it two weeks ago, upgrading to the
December Club 2006 edition.  I haven't moved any of my music
gear to it yet, wanting to prove the machine functional first.
I suspect that I'll run into the dual-core clock source timing
issue, where everything will work fine for a while, then at
random times the machine will spew xruns like mad.  This machine
runs jack 0.100 and a 2.6.12 kernel.  I don't think either of
those works around the dual-core bug yet.  Although I've heard
that the jack folks are trying to get that to work.

It took a bit of work to make my Celeron system work nicely for
audio.  It's running Mandrake 10.1.  What advice can you give us
on setting up a 64-bit Makdriva machine?

Thanks....
