Preperation for Vista

Kornowski · 12-16-2007, 07:33 PM

So you guys are saying that if I just get Vista and connect it to the net it'll do everything for me?

Yup... as long as your wireless drives work or you have wired. I just installed vista and my PCI card needed drives, but my usb wireless adapter worked with the provided drivers. After that vista will find the right drivers.

trust me mate vista isnt as bad as some people make it out to be...just because one thing didnt work for them out the box they automaticly hate it lol.

when installing vista on my rig i didnt have any problems at all,and my systems old so i was suprised.
i think Vista will run alot better on your rig than Xp ever has.

I would still manually download the latest drivers from the manufacturers websites, although Vista should install most of the drivers automatically.

From the Gigabyte web site? They're all the same, it looks as if the XP and Vista ones are the same?
