The USB drive I created using the instructions linked to above worked just fine. The menu has 4 more entries (HOME,HOMEPREMIUM,PROFESSIONAL, and ULTIMATE) with x64 as the architecture.
I received mine today also. A G0 SLACR just like the others mentioned earlier.
Now I have to wait for my other goodies to arrive from Newegg and Petras.

Thanks I just bought one. I would have liked to have waited for a 9300/9450 but can't see the performance difference justifying the large price delta. This is going to be in my Linux development machine so I don't think the SSE4 support would have made much difference anyway.

Ordered one yesterday afternoon for an upcoming build. Received the confirmation e-mail and about 20 minutes later received an e-mail saying my order had been canceled due to out of stock.
Time to start scouring the hot deals forum again.
