[SLUG] AMD64

[jam@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi
this is a trawl for info please:

Has anybody got an AMD84 running smoothly and reliably?

I've got an x2/3800 on an ASUS A8V MB. I've tried with SuSE10, SuSE10.1 (RCs),
FC5, Ubuntu. All have some problems, sometime
eg 
on board AC97 sound not seen (recognised, configurable)
use a sound card, then the module get unloaded (!) reload
   modprobe snd_ens1371
works for a bit.
ethernet card stops ethernetting. ifconfig looks good, but acts as if the 
cable is out. POWERDOWN and all is OK again
System freezes. No keyboard, no mouse, no network, sound loops on what was 
playing eg leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Happens with speedstep on and off, screensaver on and off, idle and in use

either AMD is not ready for prime time
ASUS is worse than expected
THIS MB is pregnant
