Thanks to nVidias UDA the brand does not matter only the chipset.
Both chipsets are reported to work with Debian AMD64. See the thread
"AMD64 and video card experiences" I started a few weeks ago for
confirmation or check the nvnews.net Linux-forum.
I have just ordered the Asus (in the 128 MB edition) and will get it this
weekend. I you want to I can mail you if I get it to work with Debian
AMD64.

hth,
Thomas
