Hi everybody.

I'm currently working on porting a software to 64bit machines using 
Linux, so I'm planning to install Scientific Linux 5 on a new machine 
for that, but before I purchase this new machine, I want to be sure I 
can install SL5 successfully on it, and I'm not sure which 64-bit AMD 
CPU are correctly handled by the x86_64 version of SL.

Dell proposes these CPU:
for desktops: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+ and faster
and for laptops: AMD Turion^TM 64x2 Dual-Core Mobile technology TL-50 
and bigger
or AMD Turion^TM 64 Mobile technology MK-36 Processor

Did any of you successfully install SL on any of those processors? 
Otherwise would you know any detail which would comfort me in choosing 
one of these?

Thank you very much in advance.
