Thanks for all of the excellent posts, gents.

I've done a bit more searching and really haven't found very many nightmare stories regarding ditching gfx manufacturer X and moving to gfx manufacturer Y on Vista 64. I suppose it's just like anything else you attempt to do on a Windows machine. You make restore point, go thru the official and unofficial driver removal tools (aka driver cleaner for instance), install the new stuff and hope for the best.

At the very worst I'll have to reinstall Vista and all of my games and software, but that is something I like to do periodically anyway. The difference being in this situation, though, is that a forced reinstall of Vista would probably not be something I'd appreciate nor want, especially considering my Vista64 installation is working absolutely flawlessly.

So far, though, I'm leaning on staying with the green team because of the better selection of water cooling blocks for the 200 series compared to the 4800 series. 55nm down the road is also very appealing to me.

Once again, thanks everyone. I'll report back in September whenever I make my selection and attempt to install.

MG.
