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.
