Great board, I use them in all my full form factor builds. I have the Pro
version in my gaming computer and love it as well. XP and Vista both run
great on this setup.

Maby you need a bios update.

No. I ran Vista Upgrade Advisor and was told it was was incompatible with
Vista Ultimate OEM and that the DVD drive might not work, but I installed
anyway. A self inflicted wound! I now have the same board but the Vista
Edition, and it works flawlessly. I love ASUS boards, never before having
had a moment's trouble. Almost as good as the old IWILL.

I Installed Vista Ultimate RC 1 on an older A8N 32 SLI
Deluxe and the DVD burners < NEC 3550's > worked fine.

Strange.

Strange indeed. I also have Vista Ultimate OEM on this board: A8N-SLI and
it's great. Not a single problem. I get all driver updates from Driver
Agent, and I am now happy with both setups.
