Vista and 8800 GTX SLI
Anybody have any comments on how the drivers are working ?
I want to switch from XP to Vista but I want to make sure the drivers are working for SLI.

I don't understand why you'd be in a rush to do that. If you have a powerful gaming rig like that, and it is working well under WinXP, I would wait until some compelling games come along, that only run under Vista. You could easily wait until the first Service Pack for Vista, before getting excited again. Maybe by then, the beta test phase for drivers will be complete. Paul

yea stay with xp, but to answer your question about drivers.
I have tested vista ultimate with a 7600gt, 2 gig of ram and a 3.4 P4 and the video drivers are shaky. Had compatibility issues with FEAR but it install and worked. If you want to run Vista I suggest purchasing a new drive and try it. I would not try to upgrade your existing drives. Just disconnect them and put a clean install of vista on the new drive.

Good idea...I have an extra drive that I can load Vista onto. Then just
change settings in the bios to boot in. "BigJim" wrote in message . .. yea stay with xp, but to answer your question about drivers.

I am pretty sure after you play around with vista you will return to xp like
I did. Maybe in 6 mos or a year vista will be ready and so will the third party drivers. "The Postman" wrote in message news:IiXMh.5287$x9.3564@edtnps89...
