Re: Asus's Limited Vista Collection


You are wise to bank on Vista.

Microsoft controls over 92 percent of the world market and that
percentate is growing daily.

Vista will take Microsoft to well over 95% of the PC market in about
2 years. All of the other OS will die within the decade.

Microsoft is the chosen one and the only one.

I don't know how to get rid of the yellow exclamtion marks in device
manager. Usually I just load the proper driver and they go away.
Sometimes I can't figure out what the device is so I'm stuck with the
exclmation mark

I downloaded Vista audio drivers from Realtec to clear up the audio.
The sound was scratchy and just not right. I suppose it could be
something physical, wiring perhaps, but it sounds okay with XP.

I downloaded Vista drivers for my chipset from nVidia and I guess they
worked. I didn't see much difference and I still had exclamation marks
for things like "mass storage". I don't remember exactly.

My opinion on Vista is that it looks cool. I am a computer hobbyist.
If I am going to keep up it is going to be using Vista. All the
magazines are writing about Vista.

I did not realize the 939 was so old. It certainly has handled
everything I've thrown at it.

I would like to see Asus make available the Vista drivers for the
boards they are still selling. Or, maybe they could put a note on the
box "Not Supported Under Vista". Yeah maybe they would do that.

I've had the release candidate 1 of Vista running on my A8N32-SLI now

I seen a list of motherboards Asus has created Vista drivers for. It
is a pretty long list but it doesn't have my board, the A8N32-SLI. I
just bought this board a week ago for $170. It isn't a discontnued or
obsolete board!

How can Asus not supply drivers for the current OS for boards it is
actively selling? I suppose you could ask why I would be so stupid as
to buy a board not supported. I guess I messed up.

Any ideas if this "list" is just their initial offering with more to
come? Somebody give me some hope!
