    I get better fps using Ati cards in Vista then I get in Xp, but using Nvidia all I get are crashes...

    This is with two different ati cards, and two different nvidia cards.

    The ati cards have ran for days/weeks, while one nvidia vista computer crashes if I play solitaire!

    The 9600 pro I have in my 2500+ crashed a few times because I only had 512 megs of ram, fitted it with 1 gig and it runs perfect.

    The c2d laptop with x1800 and 1 gig ram has never crashed ONCE.

    But... The pentium d with 7600 gt has crashed ever since I got Vista...

    And the 6200 le, it has a driver error if I play solitaire!

    Nvidia has said from the beginning they dont believe in the unified shader ideology of ati and microsoft that vista utilizes, and they have the 1st Direct X 10 compatible desktop card.....yet their cards still don't work right with vista? That's one hell of a hard sell to buy a card intended for vista, when none of their cards play as intended for vista.
