I have been using AMD Athlons (old and new Thunderbird for over a year now with 
ASUS boards exclusively.  Never had any problems with anything - audio works 
perfectly well.  In fact anybody who got to work on any of these systems (some 
are servers) are just amazed by their power.  Some of these machines do CFD and 
raytracing!  The 266 FSB on newer boards is really nice for performance.
