I have installed VISTA RTM, the installation was fine. But the problem with RC1 still same.

The VISTA only recognize the "standard VGA graphic adaptor", and my 7300 is gone, the performance score is only 1.0.

I tried to install nvidia driver 96.33 and 97.46, but all fialed. The setup stopped and shows "The nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."

I installed XP first, and it works fine. Then vista is installed on XP in another partition. But this should not be the reason, right?

Please someone help! Thanks in advance!

You need to download modded drivers for NVIDIA Go cards. The normal ones online are for desktops.

Vista should have recognized your 7300 immediately. I don't know why it didn't. DO a clean install (instead of upgrade) and see if that helps. Windows is a bit odd.

Vista RC1 does not have all of the drivers intact. Wait will v. 6000 xxxxx comes out.
