I am putting together an Athlon system (FX57 w/4 gig on an ASUS A8N32-SLI board) as I type this (drives are formatting right now). Against my better judgement, I have purchased XP64 (just couldn't wait for Vista but have another copy of XP Pro as a backup). So, I should know if it works soon! I'll post back here and let you know initial testing results. Edit: My benchmark will be to compare render times against a Pentium 4 3.0, 2 gig ram, and Asus P4C800E Deluxe Mobo.
