    Hi, could you please tell me if the Vista drivers are the same as the XP ones?

    If not then where could I find the Vista drivers?

    Also do all functions of the One work when Vista is fully installed?

    Many thanks

    Vista picks up the sound card and chipset automatically, but it didn't pick up the Video for me. I had no success installing any of the video drivers I tried...

    But I did not attempt it long because of the very bad SSD performance. So I am at XP until I can get a solution to improve SSD performance with Vista...

    Ahh, well I have the HDD version on order so the SSD problems will not be an issue

    I have to ask, do you need to run Vista or do you like it?

    Well I need a Windows OS, as I need to use software which isn't on Wine/no Linux version. And I can get Vista for cheaper than XP so I may as well get the Vista instead of XP

    if you can find the XP upgrade it is half the price of full XP and is exactly the same cd just format a blank drive and add a windows folder then boot with upgrade cd and install will go as normal, no old version is required. hope this helps SNO
