My PC-Setup:

Mobo: ASUS P5GDC-Deluxe (LGA775, Intel 915P+ICH6R, CPU-Lock Free, FSB-800
O/C'ed)
BIOS: AMI ver: 1011 beta-005
CPU: 3.0GHz Intel P4 630 (O/C'ed to 3.6GHz and Vista doesn't seem to mind!)
System RAM: 1GB (Generic) Dual DDR2, PC4200 (533MHz - O/C'ed)
Video: "Xpert-Vision" GeForce 6600LE (512meg)
Sound: Onboard CMI 9880 (Vista seems to have issues with onboard CMI chips
but I have this working fine now nonetheless!)

Cheers,

HELLO LEE-ROY!

Hey man.
This is amazing
I have P5GD2 motherboard
I try these days the Vista RC1.
Please could you tell me how you managed to make the Onboard CMI 9880 to
work ?
For me after clean installation of Vista it does not find the chipset and
thus i get a tray icon that shows i dont have sound. I have not tried to
install anything then.

Your help will be appreciated! THanks,
Markos.

Games which to use OpenGL libraries WILL NOT play on Vista.

The Vista recognize DirectX games ONLY.

Doom 3, Quake 4, Pray and so on are NOT Vista compatible.

Yes, the bulk of games will work on Vista. I've tried a couple of dozen and
have only found one that doesn't at the moment.

yes, and as well as my nvidia graphics are longer recognised,as i have 82.?
ok? or auran's trainz sim's specially 2006 and says to update your mb and
nvidia drivers.
 
Diablo 2 Works fine with retail version, but latest patch breaks sound.
let me know if you come by an answer please let me know as i would like to
load my saved games...they are all based on the patch.it would be cool if i
could find a way around that.
 
Diablo 2 LOD works fine as long as you dont install the latest
patch.otherwise you loose sound when upgrading to patches after 1.07.....had
to create all new characters as my saved games were all saved from the latest
patch (1.11).
 
paul smith had a huge list of games listed 1 of witch was final fantasy XI i
must say im a royaly addicted ffxi'er(not proper english but it works) scence
upgrading to RC1 i installed it got a window saying known copatability issues
click 4 fix click to run anyway or cancle i cheacked for a fix could not find
1 tried to run anyway crashes imediatly even b4 pol splash screen (if u play
ffxi u know what pol is if u dont dont worry bout it). i upgraded to vista
RC2 nomore pop up known error window but it still crashes straight up i have
tried everything i can think of besides using azarils windower to launch ffxi
the only thing that i know that works its VMware (witch is as good as
formatting & putting xp back on witch is what im tring to avoid i wanna keep
my vista but i must say im addicted & if i can find a work around vista jus
might get the boot!) so mr. paul smith if u were able to make it work plz
tell me how!!!??


Tblomega-Fairy - WHM 73(was 75 but mission & no exp can do that to ur level)
 
how did u get final fantasy xi to work on vista i cant seem to get the
playonline viewer to load it tells me the program dose not support this
windows
 
others say quake iv works fine yes it runs after instlaling v 1.3 but even
after going in and setting to smp mode (I have a pentium d 915) it still
takes about 10 minutes to start up.. that is unacceptable..
same graphics card as under xp (6600gt) with nvidia latest 9965 vista
drivers.. starts up in under a minute

10 minutes is too long to make it playable..
