Never tried changing from x86 to x86_64 , but I've changed motherboards once (from a via based to a nforce based motherboard). Kudzu recognized everything.
The Fedora FC3_86 installation DVD runs fine on the new peocessor as does the rescue CD. Is there perhaps
an easy way to go from FC3_86 to FC3_86_64 using one of these plus a few selected 64-bit RPMs?
Maybe by doing an upgrade instead of an install. Tho I do not see why you cannot just change the cpu and mobo and move everything over. You may have to do a grub-install but I'm just guessing here.

If everything on your motherboard is compatible with linux , then it's just a matter of booting and let kudzu run.
Also , no need to do a grub-install , unless for some reason you lost the MBR of the disk and grub was installed there.
