Hello everyone, My machine with a dual boot of XP Pro and Vista Beta 2 has been up and running for over a week now. I have had no problems, with the exception of a few programs that will not work. I did find out from a friend about the Flip 3D feature, kinda cool but will not work on my machine. I have nVidia 4000 MX video card with 128 meg on the card. Can anyone let me know if that is a card that will work with VIsta. I have looked for the drivers, and the one download avalible does not have the correct drivers for Vista. I am using the default drivers Vista had. I really do not want to purchase a new Video Card, but if I must, any ideas from you all would be awesome! thanks TurboStorm AMD Athlon 2000 XP 512 Meg Memory 80 Gig WD hard drive       |

| I apologise for this comment... your g'card sucks  I cant think what you could possibly be doing with your PC which doesnt require a better one... do you only use word processing or something? You cant even watch HD with that! :P Grab a g'card for around £50 and will nock the socks off what you have got right now. But dont go higher than that because then your RAM and CPU will hold it back. Hope that helps, if you need a few pointers at some good choices just ask!  crabby |

| OR!!! you could use a cable Vista will not have native wireless USB drivers... so you will have to find a company that has vista drivers already (or some freaky xp drivers that work)... and I know of none so good luck with that... let us know what you find!crabby |

| Thanks guys, I did get a different video card, and everything works great! I never really played many games and stuff, so I guess i never needed a top of the line video card. Now When I do upgrade my PC, it will be all top of the line! Can't wait for RC1, |
