I set up a new box last night. ASUS A8V motherboard, amd64 x2 4200+,
and a WD Caviar 80 gig SATA drive. I installed NetBSD/i386 3.0 as
I want to run openoffice, etc on the box. It installed without a hitch
and seems to like all the hardware.

You can download a recent NetBSD/amd64 -current iso from:

ftp://ftp.rmkhome.com/pub/netbsd/amd64/netbsd-03042006-amd64.iso
