I myself would follow the pack and go for a 64 bit AMD if I wanted high performance 64 bit computing. I would also pick a motherboard with two seperate PCI busses as I am more IO bound than CPU bound with the people I work for.
I would say so, my AMD 64 is bottom of the range and first generation (AMD 64 3200 S754) and it still screams.
I only wish Ubuntu didn't have so many AMD 64 specific bugs, SuSE 9.1 was just like running 32bit (with the exception of flash on Mozilla, but I see that as a benefit) but Ubuntu is being a little "difficult" with some packages.
