With the release of Windows Vista in late January, every computer sold by OEMs will have the new Operating System. Unfortunately, from a performance point of view, Vista drivers from NVIDIA and ATI are slower than the XP counterpart. The tests we use for the motherboards are also not all compatible with Vista. 3DMark05 cannot run on a Vista machine, Sysmark 2004 SE is not compatible with the new Operating System either. As such, we will wait for a new Sysmark and better drivers before using Vista as our primary OS for testing.
