AMD CPUs are fine. This has been addressed elsewhere in the thread.
You do need a good motherboard though.

I would definately avoid the ASUS A7S333, or anything else based on the
SiS745 chipset. It has issues with interrupt routing and I could not
get it to do anything even resembling realtime.
I've had good results with the A7V600-X I replaced it with. The only
downsides to this board are 1. the onboard audio sucks ass (but you
weren't going to use it anyway, right? :) and 2. MIDI requires a dongle -
if you have one from 10 years ago or something, the pinouts should be
the same.
Hope this helps,
Jody
