I have a relative in the US who has just installed it, he is fairly switched on with PC's but has had a number of problems.
1.Gaming frame rate down but this is probably the current lack of good drivers.
2.His P3 680 is now running 5-10% slower but is more stable, thinks he might have to go up a couple of hundred mhz.
3.Problems with shutting down, conflict with his MS keyboard, etc.

He thinks all these things will be sorted out
with new software and drivers, but overall at present it doesn't seem worth the hassle.

He has a friend who installed it on a clean HD and had no problems.
