    Hi  Preston:
            I'm running SuSE 9.1 in 64-bit mode on an AMD
    Athlon 64 on an Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard.  After
    a number of painful installs, etc., things seem to be
    working properly.
            I checked out the hardware on the SuSE board
    and the K8V board has only partial support.  But, as
    someone else mentioned, what was really important
    is the individual components mounted on the MB.
            Two things I discovered in getting my system
    up and running was to be sure that you have the latest
    BIOS upgrade (this solved no end of problems for me)
    and also, make sure you're using the upgrades from
    SuSE (I'm now using kernel 2.6.5-7.95 [2.6.4 was
    shipped on the DVD]).  I think these are two of the
    most important issues in getting SuSE to operate
    at the 64-bit level.  Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Mike
