I've been quietly waiting to see if anyone else jumps in on this, but they haven't, so I'll give you my experience.

These days, I'm running Vista 64. However I did run XP 64 with the PCIe-424 for several months. This was before the release of the latest drivers. I also run Sonar 8.5, but was probably running Sonar 7 or 8 back then. I have a 24i/o and 2408 Mk3 and it all ran pretty much flawlessly.

I'm wondering if you are running the original PCI-424 rather than the PCIX-424 and maybe that's causing you some issues.

See the excerpt from this MOTU Technote below:
PC motherboards that utilize dual-processors, hyperthreading, or 64-bit processing will also not likely work with the original 424 card.
