So on a whim I went out and bought an upgradeable version of Vista Home Premium for $89.99 today from the campus bookstore. I've been playing with it all afternoon and so far am really enjoying it. Windows and the interface run well and look extremely slick, and the only problem I'm having so far is not being able to find a driver for my old motherboard. They stopped the Vista support at the nforce 3 range - unfortunately my board is an nforce 2 and lacks the nforce driver support. It doesn't seem to be making a difference though - should I be worried? My lcd lacked driver support as well, but the xp driver installed successfully so hopefully it's fine.
I haven't found any real reason to dislike Vista yet. There seems to be a very, very slight delay when typing and internet explorer is a tad jumpy when I scroll (despite having installed the newest video drivers). Could this be due to a lack of nforce drivers?
My surround sound is working very well now (and without any trouble after I disabled some options). Everything kind of just worked after I installed one driver and disabled the initial option Windows picked for me. It's the first time in a number of months that my speakers have worked properly in full surround sound.
Just thought I'd report since I haven't been on the boards in awhile.
