Thanks for everyone's comments.  The case, CPU, memory, drives and all 
arrive tomorrow, and tonight I'm like a kid on Christmas eve.  I'm gonna 
go to bed early, then get up and go to work early, so I can come home 
shortly after noon.  I hope I can get some sleep. <g>

I'm definitely going with the 64-bit system, at least to start with, if 
no more than to say that I've done it.

The last computer I built on the same GeForce 6100 motherboard has 
XP-Pro installed, and since the MB came with a CD full of Windows 
drivers and utilities, it was pretty easy to get all the devices in a 
row.  I hope that SuSE 64 will find all those onboard components to its 
liking. 

If so, then I think this is gonna be fun.
