Talking about SATA Drivers, Andre do you know off hand if Vista comes
with built in drivers for the nforce chipsets?

If your graphics card supports DirectX 9 then you're OK otherwise
upgrade it to use Glass.

Your video card memory is just perfect, just as long as your card support
Direct X 9 and have a supported WDDM driver, you don't have to worry.
