Just FYI... I started using W7 beta (32 bit) last week on my AMD Turion 64
X2. No apparent problems.

Regular and SSE2 32 bit POV shows this correctly, for me, and renders the
benchmark in half/double the time as expected. Render menu, Thread Count...
also shows 2 automatically.
However, the photon parse reports threads erroneously:
Photon Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds (0.686 seconds)
using 4 thread(s) with 0.686 CPU-seconds total
Radiosity Time: No radiosity
Trace Time: 0 hours 13 minutes 21 seconds (801.795 seconds)
using 1 thread(s) with 799.629 CPU-seconds total
And when All CPU's used:
Photon Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds (0.593 seconds)
using 5 thread(s) with 0.685 CPU-seconds total
Radiosity Time: No radiosity
Trace Time: 0 hours 6 minutes 46 seconds (406.521 seconds)
using 2 thread(s) with 804.433 CPU-seconds total
Of course, since photons hasn't been finished AFAIK that's probably not
unusual.
