Hi, I'm using a 64-bit AMD system (Gentoo). The only thing I can't get 
working are the VST libraries.... (through any of the three available 
options).... otherwise my system is very stable and working  at low 
latency ... (2.9 ms in 44.k 32 bit mode with 16+ tracks and multiple 
plugins). My only recommendation is  use Gentoo if you can and optimize 
as much as you can.
