I would suggest that you test the machines using Ubuntu for AMD64, use the bootable disk first.
I'm using Ubuntu on an AMD64 at home, it looks fine. A disclaimer though, I'm not really pushing the limits of the machine (yet) with the work I'm giving it, currently more of a photographer now than a Linux sysad.

Thanks Paolo,
Guess this buries my prospect of deploying them on servers then. I might
as well wait for the stable Etch release this December (so I hear).
Perhaps I'll just try testing it out on my destkop athlon 64 and upgrade
to a custom 2.6.17 kernel and see how it goes.
