Just as an FYI... I just matched an AMD 64 3500+ on an Abit AV8. I was originally planning to run the 64 bit release of Fedora Core 3 but found compiling music apps to be painful on the 64 bit platform. Instead I am running the 32 bit release of Planet CCRMA Fedora Core 3 with their Edge kernel. Everything is singing beautifully with no problems in stability. As far as I can tell, the motherboard is fully supported with the stock FC3 release although I haven't tried SATA drives.
