The amd_64 is a *very* good processor. It should properly be considered 
the cream of the crop of "desktop" processors today.

I bought a Gigabyte motherboard for an amd_64 about a month ago. I have 
been very pleased with it so far. No apparent issues with Linux on it. 
Whatever brand you choose, get one with an Nvidia chipset rather than Via.
