Also Brizzer, I think it would be grandly appreciated by everyone if you also included driver statuses for things like Creative sound cards (X-fi mainly), network cards (Not every single one, but just a general idea), and motherboards (eVGA doesnt seem to have anything for their new mobos, the 680i or something, which they tout as the ultimate for Vista LOL gg).
My eVGA 680i all works fine under Vista. No drivers needed installing, just detected everything straight away.

its a given that any Operating system will support a floppy drive.

Floppy drives are essential for just about any setting up you want to do. They are the key to computers and the main external drive for any info you want your computer to have.
I haven't used a floppy drive since I stopped using RAID.

You really don't need chipset drivers since vista has them already.  However I would not recommend downloading those drivers until your mobo manufacturer approves of them.

Just thought people might like to know the drivers are there,as alot of people on other forums have been asking for them.

My apologies for being so hesitant.  I am downloading the new drivers and I am going to test them.  I will add it do the downloads info and put you as the provider of the link.  Thanks for the help and my apologies for being a dick.

Hmm, I've looked around. Seems like Vista's got those intel chipset drivers already in it

Also might want to add this:

Q: When will the Creative X-Fi ExtremeAudio 64-bit drivers be released?
A: "As soon as we [Creative] can". This is supposedly because the X-Fi Audio has a different chip structure than the other X-Fi cards. Sit tight for the 64's. [source]

So I am going to get that Vista Ultimate and I have some questions about it.

1.How do I know do I buy the 32 or 64 version?
2.What if my motherboard is so good that there is no drivers to it? Ok it looks like there someone has posted nf4 drivers that I suppose will work?
3.How do I install that vista? Do I take copies from my critical files, reformat and install vista?

k so there's a 50 dollar rebate on the ram i got for my system (i currently have 2 gbs) and I'm getting the 64 bit ultimate edition.  In terms of preformance, I've heard vista is a memory hog... would the extra 200 bucks for another 2 GBs be worth it?

Yep, having 4GBs of RAM would probably run Vista at the best performance for the amount of ram.

Sorry nobody answered your question; this topic was dead for a few days so I stopped checking on it.

1. Vista Ultimate comes with both the 32 and 64 versions.

2. What is your motherboard? If its on the 680i chipset, Vista comes with those drivers. If its on NF4, you should use those drivers that guy posted. I think most Intel processors use Intel chipsets, while nForce are usually for AMD. I think Vista comes with a lot of recent Intel drivers, but I would check on your motherboard manufacturer's website for any drivers.

3. You can, and should, do that. Back up (Copy) all your files that you want, then reformat. If you bought the upgrade version, I posted a guide on how to install the Upgrade version without having to have XP installed. If you bought the full version, just back up files, reformat with the Vista DVD, and follow the instructions on the screen.

Also, I reccomend burning a CD (or backing up onto a drive) with all the Vista drivers for your hardware. Sound card, motherboard (if necessary), video card, and all that.
