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.
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
