I am running an AMD 64 x2 4600 - 1G of 800Mhz ram - on a gigabyte board - absolutely no problems - totally uneventful . Running XP pro - SP2 etc. Using FA66 at 192 sample rate, dms780 psk31, no problems. Even works with avg virus stuff chugging away on the hard drives (2 sata, 1 ide). Maybe saw 45-50% once or twice.
Also ran on previous box - single AMD - 2600 with the Delta 44 card. (Some how I got the wife to let me build the new one!)
