I am running Debian AMD64 on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P. It supports the latest 45nm Core2Duo CPUs (dual and quad) and has gigabit ethernet from Realtek. I needed the installer from <http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/> for SATA support (and for ethernet, I think), but otherwise it works flawlessly. I didn't try installing from or to an IDE drive which might be a problem, but I don't know. The only quirk was that you have to use the module option model=6stack-digout for snd-hda-intel in order to hear sound. There's no graphic chip on the board so you'd have to get a separate one.
