Anyone XP64 & Vegas?

Is anyone running the Windows XP 64 bit (beta) version with Vegas?

Tomorrow, I am getting an AMD Athlon 64 3500 CPU. I need to redo my whole system (motherboard, etc.) I was wondering, in general, how things were going stability-wise with Vegas.

I was concerned because the AMD site lists several drivers to work with 64XP. There's not all that many. Just wondering if non-64 bit apps were OK with XP64.

It's been a long time since I beta tested an OS (WIndows95). I'm not sure I want to do it again... :)

Any other comments would be helpful...

Thanks!

I put together a 3000 with the latest MSI board and install the RC1 of XP64.

Couldn't find drivers for my Radeon and Matrox dual head (3 monitor setup) or my raid controller card. XP didn't seem to have much to choose from as far as drivers goes generally.

Overall things seemed a bit sluggish too. Never installed Vegas.

I felt like I had when I installed OS/2 ten years ago so I bailed and installed XP (32).
The 3000 with superfast RAM is a bit faster than my Athlon 2400+.
