    Thanks for the link - it looks like most of their current models have Vista drivers available. None for my M560A, but that's understandable since it is from 2005.

    Frankly, it is always safer to take them from the Sager site. The Clevo site is sometimes pre-mature in their release and the drivers are still buggy.

    Hey everyone... I'm reviving this thread to ask about the current state of Vista on the M570u. For those out there that have tried the new drivers, what sort of performance are you getting? Any updated 3DMark scores that you can post?

    I just (finally) received my copy of Vista, and since early reports were obviously bad when it came to 3d performance when compared to XP, I wanted to check on current status before installing. Going by Donald's suggestion, I'll probably get the newest drivers from Sager's site, but if anybody has updated info on either those or the ones on Clevo site, I'd appreciate hearing it.

    Thanks!

    I just received my copy of vista today, I do not think I will be installing it for another couple of months. Any chance to install vista while leaving xp on if its an express upgrade?

    Be sure to visit laptopvideo2go to get the latest modded drivers for nvidia cards.
    The 101.41 (latest) provide decent performance and implement some of the functionalities that were still missing in vista (fixed aspect ration scaling for instance).

    I'm thinking of putting Vista x64 on my Clevo M570U. Anyone encountered any major problems with that? Most computers I see shipping have the 32bit version. Not sure if I'm dancing with the devil by going with x64.
