Now that SMP is standard even on laptops most every kernel is SMP enabled. 
  To use a 64bit vs 32bit you'll need to switch out all the userland 
programs too.  You'll want to grab the 64 bit version of fedora or ubuntu 
(or insert distro here).

In most cases, however, you'll be better off sticking with 32 bit right 
now.  The kinks are almost completely worked out, but many proprietary 
tools still don't work with 64bit.
