cards, >and dual-core processors. Nvidia informed us that its only
chipsets >certified for Vista were the nForce4, nForce 500, and nForce
600 >series, suggesting that nForce3 users suffering from compatibility

However, the company seems to have changed its mind somewhat. Nvidia
Platform Products PR Manager Bryan Del Rizzo has e-mailed us saying,
"There is a known issue with ATI AGP cards and nForce3 and Vista. This
is currently being looked into and will most likely be resolved with a
MCP driver update." Del Rizzo adds that nForce3- and nForce2-based
systems can run Vista using built-in Microsoft drivers and third-party
audio chipset drivers. There is one notable exception, though: storage
support. Nvidia RAID is just plain not supported, and Del Rizzo says
there are "known Vista issues with some ATAPI devices."

It pays to go with large conglomerate rip-off companies like Intel and MS.
I do, and I buy their stock too (even if I can't face myself in the
morning).
