Yes, My Asus K8V-X is setup to dual boot ME and XP 64. I have a ATI Radeon
9250 video card installed also, with correct video drivers for both op
systems. They are available from the ATI website. I thought the A8N-E
motherboard had drivers for both Op. systems available from Asus. I have
two eide hard drives in this machne, ME is installed on C (first), and XP 64
on D Drive (2nd). I find I stay in XP 64 the most though, and rarely do
anything in ME. My microtek scanner and Epson photoprinter both have 64 bit
drivers, But I had to get these drivers from their appropiate websites, they
did not come with the correct drivers. Planer AMD was most helpful in
researching the correct printer and scanner to get. The only snag I had was
the USB wireless NIC I have is not supported by XP64, my workaround was to
use the NIC on the motherboard which is, ethernet cabled to my wireless
router, and the other PCs in my network have the USB wireless NICs (and do
not use XP64). Printers for my network on physically connected and shared
through the network, so printer driver issues have not cropped up for me..
