Athlon XP, do you mean Athlon 64-M 3000+?

I'm using Suse 9.2 64-bit edition.  I downloaded it from a Suse FTP 
mirror.  The image I got is a DVD image (about 3.5GB download I think) 
and it has the option for 32-bit and 64-bit installation by the looks of 
things.  It also seems to run both 32-bit and 64-bit apps without much 
if any messing about which I had with Fedora Core 2 (x86_64).
