My 4870X2 runs great on my DFI P35 but like you say I have only ever run XP SP2 or Vista 32Bit so it is possible you are seeing a 64 bit issue

I am using the BETA 8.9 drivers but retail 8.8 was fine.

The only way I can get my driver to stop responding if I run an unstable setup, overclock the card to far, overheat the card, or push the PCI-E frequency up too high.

^ i havent even touched the clocks from the graphics card yet, so no oc for me. and the temps seem normal too (idle: ~62/48) with 8.52.6 drivers in xp and 8.52.2 in vista.
i havent changed the pcie frequency either.

i really have no idea what the issue with this card and apparently vista x64 is
