Hi,

I am running Debian unstable on an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor and a
MSI K8N Neo4 Mobo.


When I asked the amd-64 list I was told that CPU is a K8, not a  K7.

That's correct but it uses a lot of the same features as the k7 with a few extra so the k7 is the best fit on a 32 bit install. There was a -k8 kernel on i386 ( and it was reinstated for a while so may still be available ) but, you can run into problems with compiling modules, for example, as the compiler expects a 64-bit os and bombs out.
