Any MOTU 896 MkI or MkII users out there?

I'm in process of migrating over to Win8 64 bit and was curious to know if anyone has any inside knowledge of which driver works best in the 64-bit environment.  I have both an 896 and 896HD.  Never had any issues under WinXP 32-bit using 3.6.7.3
 
It was my understanding that any drivers after 3.6.7.3 seemed to take a performance hit.  This may have changed since the MkIII unit has been out and driver perfomance might have improved.
 
I believe the available drivers are:
3.6.7.3 (x64)
4.0.48697
4.0.55333
 
Anyone have any suggestions which is best? 
 
Regards,
Rich

    Hi Rich,

    I haven't had any problems using the latest drivers with an 896HD under Win8x64.

    I have an 896MkIII very happily operating X1 and X2 expanded under 64bit windows 7 (on a computer from Jim!)
    Never had any issues whatsoever
