    I have windows vista home premium installed, the thing is when I play a video it doesn't play smoothly, there's like little breaks/jumps every couple of seconds. I also installed a codec pack (klite) but didn't help. I tried playing various types of movie files, all with the same problem...

    I would think it would have something to do with the drivers. Unfortunately nVidia hasnt released any official drivers for the Go7900GS, so your only hope is to get them from Dell. I believe they were relased Jan of 07. You could also try some tweaked drivers.

    Ive had little luck installing and actually using tweaked drivers, so Ive stuck with the Dell drivers and havent had too many problems other then slower performance compared to XP. Microsoft just released a "speed up" or performance pack that should help performance in Vista.
