DO NOT use the drivers that come with Vista for the Nvidia RAID if you have this motherboard.

When you are installing Vista whack the motherboard CD in the drive browse to the ABITutil folder (DO NOT USE THE DRIVER FOLDER) then in the ABITutil folder rbowse to NVraid the NVraid64 then the disk folder and install those.

You will then have a lovely rock solid Vista 64 install....

Trust me I found out the hard way that is the way to do it!

Thanks for the heads up, hopefully these two should be in my possession soon

What kind of problems were you having with the default drivers? I've got a Abit KN9 and all I get is blue screens and failed installations. I'll give your suggestion a go.

It's strange. I tried installing Windows XP x64 and everything works fine, so it can't be a 64-bit problem.

problems with default drivers include failed installs, error messages baout being unable to read files, hung installs, blue screens of death etc

The one time it did install when I overclocked it it completely trashed the install.

I tried the other drivers out of desperation and it worked :-)
