Bryan:  This is my THIRD message on this item.  I thought you might have 
   sold it since I did not get a reply!

Apparently the board works under Fedora but will it work in Debian AMD64
and Debian 32 bit?
Will it handle any and all DDR memory chips as you indicated in a
previous message?

Guess what I am asking is can one expect that most of the newer boards
to be 64 bit and whatever that implies for the 32 bit world?  I have
found that most of the apps that I normally use can be utilized on my
Asus amd64 machine, and they seem to be faster.
