Actually, I have made a custom DVD iso of Mandrake 10.1 for x86_64 since 
you can't download one. Its a bit of a custom one as far as packages. It 
has all official packages, some 32-bit packages, and some contrib 
packages too. I havn't tested it as yet, but it should work correctly. 
I'll be testing is on Thursday, so if interested in a copy, lemme know 
and I'll let you know the outcome.
