Vista X64 on Asus A8N-E
I'm doing my prep work for installation of Vista X64 Ultimate on my Asus A8N-E board. Since it is an older board (nForce 4 chipset) I have a few quick questions as to driver installation: - Should I download and install the newest nForce 4 driver package from nVidia (15.23) or do I simply use the drivers included with Vista? * If using the nVidia package, when should I install them? - Same question(s) relating to the Realtek Audio chipset (AC'97, ALC850 Version 6.2.31 supplied by Asus)? -- Van G Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

If the mfg has Vista drivers, use them FWIW: I have the same mobo and did a test install of Vista (32bit) and don't recall if they had 64 bit drivers...but my guess is that by now they would. However, due to a fairly low Vista rating I went back to XP... So you may want to reconsider.

Correction: I got my two machines mixed up... though I did try Vista on my A8N-E with less than desirable results... I run Win2k on that machine. It did not work with XP SP2 however I did try a SP3 slipstreamed cd and it was fine... but still went back to Win2k
