I too have a laptop with that processor (it's a Thinkpad T61), and I 
installed my system from a 64-bit minimal CD with the standard 
make.profile:

$ ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2008-05-27 
10:22 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0

I can't tell you about Flash, but everything else runs flawlessly - even 
wireless networking.
