I've used sarge i386 and amd64 on my athlon64 box with twin sata drives with 
no problem since the release of sarge. I have read some folks do have 
problems though with hardware that wasn't suppoted at that time.

Some folks did make available modified install CD's for sarge-amd64 with newer 
kernels. I don't know how well that worked since I never needed it.
