Mysef and anyone else interested (OT):

We have setup an MSI NeoFSR with Athlon64 3200+ and an
nVidia 5700 Ultra. Using the beta drivers from nVidia
without a problem. Rock stable in all modes tested so far.

Sorry did not check for ATI in the list. I'll have the tech
evaluating the system get back to me.

Now other issues (tech is still evaluating other sources):

- No onboard sound out of the box from MS or MSI.
- No SATA support out of the box MS or MSI.

Other good points:

- 2GB (2x1GB) DDR400 CAS2.5 installed.
- The onboard gigbait ethernet (Realtek 8110S) was in
the beta release of Windows.
- System is very responsive (as it should be with 2GB :) )

We are using the XP Pro Longhorn 4051 release and the Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise for 64-bit Extended Systems. So far
the Longhorn release is not very satisfactory but again it is
an earlier release. We are trying to obtain an updated release
for more testing.

The Server Edition looks more like a near-to-release product
than the XP Pro Longhorn version even thought they are both
in the Beta stage of development.

It is MHO that MS is delaying the release(s) for other reasons.
