Of course.

Just be careful with priorities (run the SMP client with idle setting, and the GPU client with low). And set up environment variables for your ATI to better optimize it.

I have a Q9450 + HD3850 running 4*CPU+GPU under Win7 64-bit and Catalyst 9.10. It was not reliable under XP and earlier Catalyst versions, but is fine now. EVs for that config:

BROOK_YIELD 2
CAL_NO_FLUSH 1
CAL_PRE_FLUSH 1
FLUSH_INTERVAL 64
FAH_GPU_IDLE 10
