I'm looking for books or articles on concepts for multi-threading in games, anyone have suggestions?

Check out the "Gamefest 2006: Windows and Xbox 360 System Programming Track" (direct download link). It covers a lot of threading topics, some of which are pretty basic, others of which are pretty ridiculously in-depth.

There's also a few papers on lockless/lock-free data structures floating around.
