64 Bit Fedora Core Linux Distro

[James Bond]

I read a couple posts about 64 Bit Linux Distrobutions but they didn't help too much.

I have been hearing a lot about Mandrake, Ubuntu and Fedora, however.

I'm running:
AMD 64 3200+
nVidia BFG 6800GT OC
1GB Corsair 3200 Ram
2 WD Serial ATA HD's
Lanparty UT Motherboard

I'm new to Linux. I've been using it just a few months so I don't want to go overboard. What will be best for me when I'm considering: Ease of setup, ease of use, and power of OS (For when I get more natural with it)?

Thanks, any input will be great!

Fedora should be fine. I think this has been covered before...

Linux has been 64-bit clean for years so everything should work fine, as long as there are drivers for your hardware. I think nVidia even releases AMD64 versions of their closed drivers. The only thing that might be problematic is running 32-bit apps, because you'll need 32-bit copies of every required library but as long as you stick to OSS software chances are good it'll work fine.
