Ok.

PC working with Vista RTM build 6000 in 32 bit

Everything worked straight out of the box as far as I can tell unless stated in red

Mobo
K8N Neo4-F
Graphics card
X300
Webcam
Logitech Quickcam Messenger OEM (there are different types of these so I've posted a pic) (Required driver download from Microsoft)

Multifunction Printer
Canon MP500 Printer/Scanner (Required driver download from Microsoft)
USB Headset
Logitech 350 USB Headset
Mouse
Logitech G5
ADSL Modem
Thomson Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL Modem (won't install directly from the CD. You have to go into the cd and run the installation program on it's own)

Everything other than the stupid crappy ADSL modem installed without intervention so I have to say fears of incompatibility with recent hardware were somewhat unfounded.

P.S Kickass thread. Thumbs up to you Ninja and those who are helping

Portable Media viewer
My Epson P2000 portable media viewer works.
Digital SLR
My D70s works and the CF slot in the printer (MP500) works.

Everything seems 100% functional.

Sweet. If you could can you put each into a category such as motherboard, video card or etc? Some I know but others I'm not to sure of. I don't want to screw it up any.


Thanks for the support.

Only willing to help people with the migration to a truly awesome OS.

I should think so. Basically most things purchased within the last few years will most likely be compatible. But stuff that's nearly brand new like yours will be for sure.

yes it will be but you wont be able to use the full
dx10 benifits with the 79 card.

I'd better make a general notice then.

90% of hardware made within the last 3 years are Vista Compatible

I would agree. I guess there will be exceptions though. But the whole hardware compatability thing was a bit overdone tbh. Everyone was talking about needing new PC's and stuff like that. Absolute BS. My 3 year old P4 2.8 worked really well with Vista before it got sold off. Everything other than my old Logitech webcam worked flawlessly on the few versions of Vista I got to try last year and this year. Anyone who has a 4 or 5 year old PC is unlikely to want to run Vista anyway........ :)

I've got a two control bed computers. One a P2, the other a Celeron D. The Celeron runs Vista, but the P2 will not. The purpose of the guide was to help people with most hardware find if there were issues with their hardware or software.

The software I believe is the biggest variable.

Unfortunately txt spk is not compatible with Vista so he can't answer your questions.

On it. I wanted to wait till the rest of the DX10 cards came out.
