That was my experiense when shopping around yes - annoying as I
don't need anything particularly low power (it ain't going to
be my leccy bill :-).

The Atom 230 and 330 are supposed to be 64-bit capable:

but I have not personally tested either with an AMD64 FreeBSD install.

Gigabit - ok, re0. You'll need 7.2 at least.
USB - ok
SATA - 2 ports tested only with gmirror, ok.
Xorg- not tested
audio - not tested

I've tried the Atom330 (D945GCLF2). It works fine with amd64...however it's rather wasted for 64bit considering it maxes out at 2gb. But I suppose if you wanted to standardize on amd64 installs, this is good.
