You only want to try XP drivers as a very last resort. If Vista won't
install with it's built in drivers then first you look for Vista drivers,
then try XP drivers.

Hi Kerry
Vista installs and runs ok,but i always thought it a must to install the
motherboard drivers so windows knows what the motherboard is capable of. Am
i wrong with that asumption?
Thanks

You are not wrong but you have to install the drivers for the OS you are
running not a different OS. If there are no Vista drivers for your
motherboard then the next best option is the built in drivers. I would not
even try XP drivers unless the system wasn't functioning.

MS tries to have the latest MOBO drivers from the vendors built into their
RTM releases just like they try to have all of the hardware drivers for
peripherals etc. I have not had to use any drivers from MOBO CDs for my
last two MOBO replacements with either XP or with VISTA.
I do however, routinly check for BIOS updates to my MOBOs and probably get
one or two of them a year. I did need a BIOS update for VISTA this past
summer to support Aero.

FYI....I loaded (clean install) Vista Home Premium (OEM) on a Asus A8N-VM last
night. Vista initially supplied all of the mobo drivers to get it up and
running, including Nvidia video driver for my Geforce 7300GS and sound(high
def.).

On the first Windows Update, Nvidia drivers for memory controller,
hyper-transport bridge.

I then went to Nvidia and downloaded the latest video driver(9746).

This was the most painless install that I have ever done. I was so confident
that all was well that I activated it this morning, with no problems.

Nice job by MS and Nvidia on this one. No SoundMax drivers for the audio, nor
any other Vista drivers on the Asus site that I could find and SM website just
throws you back to Asus.

Hope this helps to ease your mind.
