Any reason to not buy new motherboard now?

Hi all!

I want to upgrade my system and is there any reason to not go ahead and do
it now, other than after Vista is released there may not be a lag in the mb
drivers release? For example, I assume, say, in March 2007 the motherboards
will have Vista drivers included.

I'm curious if there is any fundamental difference in the architecture of a
motherboard designed "for vista" instead of being "vista ready".

Thanks in advance!
 
All the current motherboards run Vista fine. "Vista ready" generally
applies to an entire system, not a motherboard. It means that the box meets
the minimum requirements to run Vista Home Basic.

IMHO If you want all of Vists's bells and whistles to run flawlessly,
Wait.
I don't believe for a minute that there will be FULL Capability
drivers for *all* the (year or less) older hardware..
 
If you want to be sure to get full support from the start, check who has
drivers already posted and stick with the big well known manufacturers.
IMHO, I would stick with an Intel mobo with the 975X chipset. This probably
has in-box drivers for the RAID, sound, and other such problem causers. If
they aren't in-box, I bet they are already downloadable.
