nForce2 + Vista?

DeadLOK · 4 Oct 2007 at 20:24

Just had to install vista to get my 802.11n card working right. I need to find a sound driver and the nvidia smbus driver. Can i just use the xp 32 bit ones? Or are there others i can get?

Good news for anyone wanting to do it, seems you can just run the extractor bit of the nforce package then cancel the setup.. point the driver installation wizard to the nvidia folder in the C drive and its happy enough to use the XP drivers. Seems to pick them up as whql certified as well.

I installed Vista business on a Athlon XP system at work (I think it's nforce2) and it works fine. I did not bther with any chipset drivers at all.
