Yes!  We do, but we run Linux only on them.  It looks like a PIII blas 
works pretty well on Xeon (dual is irrelevant on Windows as ATLAS is not 
multithreaded under MinGW) and on Opteron, though, under Linux so I guess 
it would under Windows.

I will shortly have a P4 HT as my home machine, to produce a Rblas.dll 
for.
