  We report on an {\em ab-initio} study of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and
current-induced-torques (CITs) in Cr/Au multilayers that is based on
non-equilibrium Green's functions and spin density functional theory. We find
substantial GMR due primarily to a spin-dependent resonance centered at the
Cr/Au interface and predict that the CITs are strong enough to switch the
antiferromagnetic order parameter at current-densities $\sim 100$ times smaller
than typical ferromagnetic metal circuit switching densities.
