| Microsoft Vista-compliant chipsets? Hey, saw this on THG Intel will cut prices of its 865G chipset in the fourth quarter of 2006, in an attempt to accelerate inventory clearance prior to the push of Microsoft Vista-compliant chipsets, sources at Taiwan motherboard makers indicated. http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/07/18/in...g_inventories/ Can someone elaberate about the chipset and compatability with Vista? Whats this mean with current Conroe MoBos?

| They are talking about the Integrated Graphics chipsets, the Intel Extreme 1,2 anf GMA 900 and 950 are all non vista compliant (GMA 900 and 950 might be, but they are software accelerated and dont count in my opinion as true DX9) Your 875 shuold be fine with the X800XL since the core logic doesnt matter, its your graphics card, and your X800XL is for sure within spec!
