SH4 and Vista 64

So I like living on the edge. I just bought a new rig (Asus p5n32-e, core2 6600, Nvidia 8800GTX) and I decided to challenge Murphy by not only upgrading the hardware, but also installing a new OS and the 64 bit version on top of that and all the latest drivers. So no way of telling where CTD's come from because it's pretty hard to do some form of fault-isolation.

I already ran SH4v1.2 on my AthlonXP2100+, but without all the eyecandy and I must say I'm impressed with the visual quality of the game when I first saw it on my new PC.

Only problem is I went from a buggy experience without eyecandy (long loading times, some CTD's) to a buggier experience (CTD´s, BSOD´s and reboots every 15 minutes) with eyecandy. I am not blaming anyone apart from myself, because I knew the risk of upgrading to ´state of the art´. But perhaps there are some ´tweakers´ out here who know how to optimize this situation.
