    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?

    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. :)
