if you really want a 64 bit processor, the Athlon 64 is probably your best bet... but it is awfully expensive. You can get a Barton and it'd be plenty fast, and with the extra money you can get a decent cooling solution like a Thermalright SLK-900A and a 92mm fan, and still have TONS of money left over.
added: I have a barton 2599, the aforementioned heatsink and a decent 92mm fan. My CPU temp ranges from 20C to 33C. I've never seen it break 40.
