chipset, not cpu they are the 875p drivers, I did some reading on
this, boy what a hassle. You will have to go to intels website to see
if there is a updated driver for your chipset using vista. If they do
have the driver that is good. Asus has nothing as far as updates for
that board. But then you will have to find drivers for your onboard
lan, and onboard sound.,that support vista. Ive read that if you can
get vista up and running and online it will update itself, but if there
isnt a ethernet driver it cant do that.
First thing I would do is make sure that you can get a updated chipset
driver for vista, go to intel for this.
If they provide one then I would buy a nic card that is vista compatible.
Then I would buy a soundcard that is compatible, disabling those things
in bios first. If you cant get the chipset driver I would throw in the towel
and go back to xp.
