Question on AMD64 3200
Do I have to have a special version of Windows 2k3 Standard to take advantage of the 64 bit processor? Will it just go unutilized if not I guess?

you will need this:

if you run 32bit windows 2003 then it will just run 32bit and wont be as fast as the 64bit versionhttp://www.goodridgeelec.com

It won't be AS fast but it will be MUCH faster. We moved from Athlon XP 2700+ or something close to that to AMD 64 3200+ and the speed difference was incredible.

As far as I know, Windows Server 2003 64 bit is still only availalbe through system builders, it is not an SPLA skew yet.

This is the score from a Athlon64 3000+ ( Socket 754 Athlon64 2.1 GHZ (overclocked from 2GHZ), 1GB PC3200 ram, 7200rpm SATA, centos 4.1 64 bit), I bought the CPU and MB in a frys bundle total cost $139

FINAL SCORE 639.1
On my Opteron 2GHZ I got a score of 695.
I seems that Athlon64s are pretty much the same as Opterons despite having only 512K cache. If yours is a socket 939, then it can do dual channel DDR and performance should be even better.

No, it was a Athlon64 3000+ and Elite K8M800-m2 combo,
i get it because the MB has integrated graphics, so i don't need a video card for the server. I think the MB is more than enough. You pay for stuff like 8 USB ports, i1394, PCI-E for other boards, server needs none of them.

Actually, I bougt two, one I am using on my desktop, I have Windows XP x64 installed, runs perfectly fine. I am using 32 bit now, because some CD-ROM emulator I use does not have 64 bit version yet. Windows XP 32 bit boots in under 10 seconds. Everything is much faster ..
