New AMD64 User - Mainboard Query

["Peter A. Cole" <peteracole@bigpond.com>]

Hi all,

I'll be a new AMD64 user in a week or two when I get my new PC, but before I order it, I wanted to find out if it's supported.

I'm planning on getting a Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M with an Athlon 64 3000+ and a SATA HDD as these items fit within my budget. The new socket 939 CPU's and boards don't unfortunately.

I've searched around and found very little information on whether or not this configuration will work successfully with AMD64.

I've been running Sarge on a for quite a while now, so I'm not new to Debian, just the AMD64 port.

Anyone tried this board successfully? Anything I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Pete
