I use the amd64 version of debian with my Athlon 64 2800+ (single core) along
with a GeForce 5700LE and it works fine.
Your system looks to be a step up (or two) from mine but I think you'll be in
good condition. The default kernel (testing ->) is smp (dual core) aware. If
you install sarge you need to install the -smp kernel of choice, probably
*-amd64-k8-smp.
