Hi, You say that you have an AMD 64 system I assume that this is a 64 bit processor. If it is you will need a 64 bit version of Ubuntu. Look at www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download in the middle of the page you can select whichever version you require, or ask for a free disc to be sent to you.

That's not true. A 64-bit system is fully capable of natively running a 32-bit OS. It's completely backwards-compatible. He just doesn't get the (almost non-existent) benefit of a 64-bit processor. Also, 64-bit versions are often more trouble then they're really worth.

If you can get another motherboard, great.
If not, just keep an eye on things. The linux community has a tendency to find workarounds for things like this quickley... its possible your motherboard might magically find its way onto the compatibility list after a few kernel releases
