Gargh. You have answered your own question, ie: "and they have produced a driver that works with Quad SLI for XP". If they also produce a driver that works with Vista your problems will be solved. Vista, or any other operating system for that matter, is not incompatible with anything. An OS is an OS and it is the responsibility of third party hardware and software manufacturers to make their products compatible with the OS. If these vendors decide to support the Vista operating system they will make their products compatible. If they choose not to support Vista it is their decision to do so. C.B.

Can you install Vista on a system with only one of the cards installed? If
yes what happens when you then try and install the second card? "Manic056" wrote in message news  "Mike Hall MVP" wrote: Manic nVidia and ATI are responsible for video drivers..

Hey JW, hmm haven't tried, but I can't now anyway, I sent my copy of Vista
back ages ago. Which is why I was wondering how long it will be until vista will install correctly on a quad system. Because that way, I'll just wait for that release and then buy it again.
