Just as an FYI...
I just matched an AMD 64 3500+ on an Abit AV8. I was originally planning to run the 64
bit release of Fedora Core 3 but found compiling music apps to be painful on the 64 bit
platform.
Instead I am running the 32 bit release of Planet CCRMA Fedora Core 3 with their Edge
kernel. Everything is singing beautifully with no problems in stability. As far as I can
tell, the motherboard is fully supported with the stock FC3 release although I haven't
tried SATA drives.

I was just looking at prices of the XP vs. 64 and for
a 3000+ the cost
difference is only $15 now. Of course, that doesn't take into account
the cost of the MB but I wouldn't expect that to be a whole lot extra
either. Even running in 32 bit mode the 64 is probably worth the
extra few $ since you do get some goodies with it even in 32 bit mode.
