yes, been running the Turion variant of the AMD64 (acer 5000 aspire
series ... laptop) for  more than 5 months now (and its on for over 8
hrs /day at times)

used ubuntu, suse 9 32bit, suse 10.1 rc1 64bit, mandrake 10 (32/64),
and using debian AMD64 (sarge... amd64 port).. no complaints fully
functional, wireless too...

also tried fc5, no complaints
