I just bought an Asus Maximus Extreme IV P67 mobo with GTX580 Gainward graphic card and Creative XFI Titanium HD sound card and 8GB Ram.

I installed Windows 7 64bit and nothing seemed to work. I could not make the sound card work, i could not install the latest Nvidia Drivers (got blue screens) and all sorts of problems.

I installed Windows 7 again 32bit this time and everything works fine. Got my sound back, installed latest graphic drivers etc.

The only problem is that i can not use more than 3GB of ram. At least my pc is working now. And lets hope that better drivers for 64bit hardware come out soon.
 
When i installed Win7 64bit without inserting the Creative card, i tried to install the latest Nvidia drivers and got blue screens. The only driver i had no problems was the 175,33 version. When i installed Win7 32bit i could install the 280,26
When i had Win7 64 bit i had issues with the Creative card. Was not working, could hear strange sounds all the time, speakers not found. With Win7 32 bit everything worked fine.
I have 2 x GTX580 Gainward cards. I tried all the above with just one graphic card.
What i am going to do and please say if its going to be ok, is that, i will installed both graphic cards in SLI (no room fom sound card if i do this) so i will get the Creative 5.1 Usb card and i will install Win7 64bit. Hope this will work with no issues.
