    It should work well with any edition of Vista. The requirements for the Vid
    Card are:

    A very small amount of defective cards actually made it to the consumer.
    Most cards where returned before they where sold.

    Right now the nVidia drivers don't fully support the 7950 GX2. Since the
    card is multiGPU the drivers only enable 1 of the GPUs and only 512mb of the
    memory.

    Otherwise for the short time that I had it running under Vista it worked
    quite well. Now a proud owner of a 8800GTS with REAL (but leaked) Vista
    drivers. Finally my 30in Dell is at 2560 res and Aero Glass is wonderful
    again.

    WHAT!?!?! You have 8800 drivers that work? For the love of all that is
    Vista, please point us in the right direction!

    Never mind. Took a while but I found them. 100.30. However, at a very
    small 15MB I don't have much faith.

    At least I have a decent widescreen resolution now.
