    I have one notebook ASUS A4764K, with the following configuration:

    NVIDIA nForce3 Go 150
    AMD Athlon 64 bit 3200+
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 64 MB
    1GB RAM

    The question is: this hardware is supported from Microsoft Vista?
    Where I can find the driver for chipset, CPU and video card?
    THANKS!!! ;)
    Ciao... ;)

    P.S.
    Sorry for my VERY BAD english... :( :( :(

    Although most XP drivers will work for Vista 32bit, Asus most likely won't be putting out Vista drivers for models older than this past year that were certified Vista capable... I could be wrong, but the new ones will be updated first, eventually any system that could handle Vista very well may be updated but I know they still have their hands full with the late model systems.

    Thanks for the fastest answer... ;)
    In the DVD of Microsoft Vista Ultimate already will not be included the driver for cited hardware, since it is old?
    Importat for my is only that as an example the resolution is not blocked to 640x480 and that they work audio card and network card...
    You that you say?
    Thanks... ;)
    Ciao... ;)

    Actually, as with most windows releases, older hardware has more chance of working well with the boxed drivers than newer hardware. Since the hardware has been around for a while, Microsoft probably has good, working drivers on the Vista DVD and your system may work without needing any updated drivers.

    Last question for you...
    It's possible to use the driver generic of NVIDIA/ATI/etc, since they are released for Microsoft Windows Vista 32?
    For Microsoft Windows XP generic XP driver they were not settled, but they worked only driver owners ASUS.
    On notebook Acer, as an example, they work very well.
    I wonder, but on notebook brand ASUS it is not possible?
    VERY thanks... ;) ;) ;)
    Ciao... ;)

    I don't think the drivers didn't work for Asus alone, most of the dells, actually all of them, I have set up did not word with the XP drivers and needed the proprietary video drivers for any resolution over 600x800.
