    Played Quake 4 for all of 30 seconds on Vista 64. Seemed ok, slightly slugish but I expected that. Totally playable though.

    You having any problems with drivers? I've just installed the previous nvidia drivers (the last ones they released before beta 2) to see how it goes. Its asking for a reboot now. There's no nvidia control panel though, so no tweaking.

    Will let ye know if they work.

    To be honest I haven't really used it much so far. On an Asrock board and couldn't get their installer to work on x64 so I had to manually install the drivers...not sure I have a proper AGP driver installed...the Nvidia drivers went on fine though. Sound is a realtek chip so that was no bother either.

    Anything specific you want me to check?

    i was having problems solely with my 6800GT, from googling around it seems there are serious problems with Vista beta 2, these cards and the latest nvidia drivers.
    Had to download drivers for my audigy 2 zs, but it is working perfectly.
    I have just installed the older drivers mentioned above, and while performance is much better (i.e. i can use the gui without it stuttering all over the place) its still not a patch on XP. I know, beta software, yada yada.

    Ah right. I'm on the latest Nvidia Vista drivers and my GUI is running fine.

    I just installed Vista into one of my existing NTFS partitions that didn't have any operating system stuff on it, just file storage and its been working fine.
