I'm preparing to build a brand new 64-bit machine, I am currently leaning toward AMD 64x2.
I've read that NVidia, along with (silent) data corruption issues, can be a bit of a pain
to get working under Linux. Anyone have any experience with ULi, ATI, or SiS?
Note: I'm not entirely ruling out Intel.
I have had good luck with ASUS boards, the Intel chipset, and either the
provided graphics or ATI (I don't like the binary nVidia drivers). I am
just ordering one this weekend, and I'm going with the cheap PentiumD
930 CPU because the quad core units will be out in the spring, and I can
go with that without tying up money in a fast CPU now.
The Core2Duo is faster than AMD (today), has the hardware VM support,
has 64 bit. And most of my clients are running Intel, which is some
consideration regarding support expertise.

Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
