I have an athlon64 running on an asus k8v deluxe board.
installed xp, works fine. havent managed to get my video games running on it yet, but I dont have much time to play around lately. I would say, dont expect massive speed increases  at least, its no faster then the p4's out..

alright, let me qualify my above statements.
running windows xp, vs a p4 3ghz HT machine (both with dual channel ram, 2 x 256mb strips, western digital sata raptors and an ati 9800 pro) there is no difference in anything I use on a day to day basis. I really havent had much chance to play with the athlon machine, I am intrigued by the new techology, and purchased the system because of the benchmarks being so much nicer then the p4's. Unfortunately, I dont do video rendering, massive db accessing and other such things that they use for bench marking, so while the cpu does bench higher, from a user standpoint, it doesnt run windows xp any faster perhaps if you ran linux, you may see a difference. I know that the older amd's running linux were smokin machines. these amd's are also not cheap....

well, I would load up UT, except it wont load
it installed fine, detected everything fine but when loading it gives an error and wont start. ****ing me off, but I dont have time to mess with it and get it running (probably a sound card driver or something dumb).
