is safe install ati display driver into windows vista

Or should I just stick with the default driver? Windows Vista feels slow on an Athlon 64 3200+ (754) with 512 MB of RAM.

I recommend the driver that comes with Vista, its likely to fully support your card, more stable and is WDDM. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Do bear in mind that the ATI drivers are still Beta for Vista.

It would probably be much better if you had at least 1GB of RAM - that's probably your main problem. Also, Windows Vista's performance has not been optimized yet, so it will be slow. "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" wrote in message

Yes, an upgrade in memory would be good. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

OK. I will wait until the final version. :) I will use this as a minimum memory requirement for testing. -- Phillip Pi Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst ISP/Symantec Online Services Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ----------------------------------------------------- Email: phillip_pi@symantec.comSYMC (remove SYMC to reply by e-mail) ----------------------------------------------------- Please do NOT e-mail me for technical support.

If you want to test Vista out, and you're worried about performance, you should wait for the April CTP, which should have some performance optimization. "jose3030" wrote in message
