I use an Abit AV8, everthing works, I believe it uses the VIA chipsets. I
flashed the bios for x2 support. This is an older, in computer years ~1
1/2 years old. I would go with a board that has pci-x or e, if I was
buying now.

 Tyan gets good reviews on the Debian AMD64 list, though the newest boards
need the latest kernel.
