This is rather simplistic logic.  Firstly, it could be a hardware
problem which Microsoft doesn't tickle.  It could be any of a number
of things.  From this viewpoint, I'd say that the problem is you: you
don't even say what happens.  We can't debug like that.

FWIW, I am running dual-headed X on an Athlon 1700+ based system.
I've had no problems with X at all.
