How about the 64 bit mythtv rpms from atrpms?  They are there, but are they 
just too problematic ( ivtv ) to use?

I have an Athlon64 and I gave up on 64-bit with FC2. I'm now running
FC4-32bit with no problem. Unfortunately, 64bit just isn't there yet,
especially on Fedora. It should be, though. What a great opportunity for
Linux to beat the pants off of Windows.
