Vista works fine on my spec, though Nvidia really need to sort out a stable driver for the nforce3 AGP - PCI bridge. Thankfully I don't have an ATI card, and this board is a stopgap until I can get PCI-E board plus silent DX10 graphics for under Ã‚Â£100 (looking at the Asus M2V at the mo, it has all the PCI slots and is AM2 but can't find a card yet) anyway.

Nick: With 4GB of RAM, if you want to use more than the x86 ceiling, you will need to use x64 Vista which has compatibility issues. Otherwise you won't get it all recognised in Vista anyway. XP would have no idea what to use with that spec.

Zingle: Don't go, the forum will be worse off without you, everyone values your advice.
