News nForce3 users out in the cold with Vista

drag this thread out of the dark!

Just found out why my Nforce 3 board with a opty 165 and a ATI 4650 wont get along under vista or Win7.

Major Fail!

 

Well to be fair the nForce chipsets enjoyed a fairly limited run OEM wise, and were basically EOL like what, three years ago now?

 

pretty lame, considering nvidia still do legacy drivers for there graphics cards.

Its all rather annoying! lol!

 

Yeah, but what are you going to support? 30,000 motherboards, or 30,000,000 videocards?

 

Nforce 3 is a chipset they should have supported with a legacy driver for vista and left it at that considering a lot of people were in the position of owning very capable machines at the time.

 

Yeah, and guess what: I'm still looking at old Nforce boards on new Windows operating systems.

Except this time it's an NF4-SLI chipset with 7, not the NF2-Ultra with Vista.
