What? Only one option per architecture? What about folks running various, like an x86 Desktop PC and a PoweBook laptop, or a G5 Desktop and an x86_64 laptop (or any mix there by)? hehe... I know those would be a LOT of options, though 
x86_64 working good... After you figure out some of the whole 64-bit pitfalls. In general it does work quite well. Still you need to fiddle a bit more than it would be required with 32-bit to have a fully functional system. Though once you have one, it is worth it.

I'm running it on x86 (Pentium 4). It's beautiful.

I'm running i386 on an older P4, it's ticking along nicely.

I'd wager that many run 32-bit installs, even on AMD64 hardware, for compability reasons (such as the binary-only Win32 multimedia codecs or, previously, ATi's and NVidia's proprietary video card drivers).

It's been quite some time since both ATi and nVidia added support for x86_64 Linux (almost a year now, for ATi, more for nVidia). However the compatibility reasons are valid... Still you can have 32-bit mplayer/xine/VLC with 32-bit codecs on your 64-bit Fedora

No problem, any time
It is surely a bit "harder" to set up... but anyway geeks amongst geeks are using 64-bit Fedoras, hehe...
I wonder what would PPC Fedoras would be called, then... and PPC64 ones... wow, the rarest!
