RE: newbie questions for amd64
AGP (and PCI-X) are in the chipsets, not the processor. AMD 8151 is one of the AGP chipsets available, and the AMD 8131 is the matching PCI-X chipset. They are all connected via Hypertransport links.

are supported from the 2.6 kernel ATM.

The AGP is on the processor AFAIK. The closed NVidia drivers support it
OK (I run a geforce4 on mine) but the 2.6 kernel support is a bit fubar
- - it just crashes when you try to go into X.
