    I got myself a v3000 to replace my 12" iBook G4 and with the current Vista build, the Go 6150 card is not detected. I haven't been able to find any modded or official drivers that support the 6150 on Vista.
    If anyone finds a driver for the G0 6150 that works under Vista, or has ideas of how to get it working (modding the inf file), please post it here. :)

    Just force Geforce Go 6250 drivers on it. That's been my work around. You have to use the "have disk" method and make it choose 6250 even though it doesn't want to. Aero works and all the rest. Tell me if you have any problems,

    I have the Go 7200 and I had to do the exact same thing, except with Go 7300 WDDM drivers. Yes, I know it looks like a typo, but Vista does not have the 7200 drivers in the list, and 7300 worked fine for me.
