Haiku compatible with Opteron processors?

Putting a new (old) box together for testing other stuff and would love to test Haiku on it. I remember there was an AMD patch for BeOS, but because this is based on a different kernel, I’ll assume that won’t be required?

Specs
Tyan Thunder K8W dual socket. Opty 250 times 2
8 gigs ddr2 ECC ram
Audigy 2 sound card
AGP x850 pro / AGP 7800 gt

Yes, no patch required. Any CPU with MMX instructions should do (that’s Pentium Pro and above), so Opteron is fine.
