You can't but then you couldn't with XP either. Overclocking is down to either the drivers you install from the card manufacturer, or 3rd party utilities from some of the fan websites and the like. |

I used the xp version and it did fine for me under every driver version for vista so far. Ati has a similar feture but I am not familiar with it . Hope this helps.

| | RE: Vista and Video Card overclocking Download two free programs called NiBiTor and NVFlash. Use NVFlash to create a bootable floppy that will flash the video card's BIOS. Then go into NiBiTor and use it to create a new BIOS for the video card. Just go to tools>read BIOS>select your card>Go back to tools>Read BIOS>Read into NiBiTor. This will bring up your clock speeds. You can manually enter in the new Core and memory clocks and then save the file to the floppy with Nnvflash. This will update the BIOS. Just rememer what you name the NiBiTor file because you will have to specify by typing nvflash <the file name>.rom. ex: a:\nvflash modified_BIOS.rom Just follow the prompts and it will update it very quickly. Just remember to also save your original BIOS on the floppy as well in case anything goes wrong. I did this in small increments until I reached a performance wall. Worked Great!
