Yes i do. Mine the Kubuntu 64 bit but its basically the same. The Client from repositories has problems so after you install it replace the boinc_client file in /usr/bin with the one from Augustines client and everything works fine after that.

I installed the client from the BOINC download site and then put Augustines over it. It didn't work. I was still having issues with Gparted, so didn't know for sure that wasn't it. I went ahead and installed the 32bit and I'll try 64bit again next week when I have more time to play.
Not on this project as it only really sends you the 32bit app. But it flies on ABC and RS which have actual 64bit apps. Around 2-3 times as fast. Thats all ive tested on so far as i like the credit there so much lol.

Two times is a nice increase.
Did you install the 64bit from scratch or can you "upgrade" to the 64bit without a complete reinstall?
How's the driver support for Ubuntu 64, especially video drivers? I'm not a gamer so I'm just interested in whether things like the Intel motherboards or NVidea chipset based AMD motherboards built-in graphics are supported.

Have you read a good science fiction novel lately?
I have only just moved to 64 bit from 32 bit myself so im not going to be a great help.
First question is yes you require a new install. Im sure there would be a way around this but its most probably extremely painful long and complicated.
As for driver support the one on the live CD had a great dislike for my onboard video card but i used the alternate install CD and once i did all the updates everything works well. Im also about to add an NVidea card to my system tomorrow if i get the time so i will tell you if it works.

@David,
I just installed Ubuntu 64bit on a Biostar 6100M9 (nVidia) w/onboard video with no problem.
I'll have to measure performance against Malaria or WCG as they supposedly have 64bit apps.

@ David,
I have one computer with a Gigabyte mobo and a Matrox PCI video card that would not install as 64-bits.....so just the Biostar 6100M9s for me so far. I'll be running those two 64-bit for awhile to see how they play.
