under the section "If you'd like something newer" http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso theres the net installer link. i dont know if you want full cds or netinstaller. i would go with net installer. infact... i do go with it. im posting from my amd64 right now which i installed on the other week using that image (although last weeks images). this machines specs as previously mentioned... amd64 4000+ 1 gig corsair xms pro dfi lanparty ut nf4 sli-d 2* wd raptors (36gig), sata in soft raid xpertvision nvidia 6600gt (pcie) benq lcd, onboard sound, ms mouse, apple keyboard. blah blah blah anyway it all works nicely with kernel 2.6.12 and 2.6.14. anything earlier had problems (ie 2.6.8 didnt do sound or the nforce NIC, 2.6.10 was better, 2.6.11 i would say those two pieces of hardware started working well. since then 100%) your motherboard would seem about the same as mine. dont give up yet! debian will run very nicely on your machine.
