I know it is a bit out of date but xp pro with sp2, plus install the 64 bit drivers for the board...its the only good way to use this setup...
i use linux 99% of the time and find ubuntu, mandriva and centos all work in 64 bit..FC x86_64 is a pain but will work ok with tweeking it..
64 bit windows is a swear word with some windows friends and they say use server 2003...
I'm not a windows advocate but i do watch movies via my pc and the dvd's that are encrypted dont work on linux..(a deal made by GPL killed the idea)..
the other thing is i'm too lazy to compile a driver for the av out on my graphics card...
