The 9800 part works fine, the AIW part doesn't work at all.

Will the 9800 part work w/ Vista Ultimate ie; Aero display?

Works Great on Business version! Love Aero. thought it would be just eye
candy but it is really nice and solid. Make sure you get all the microsoft
updates. Cat drivers didnt work until microsoft update the other day for
ATI.

Hi, Ron.

Don't know about the 9800, but my AIW 9600 AGP worked fine all through the
Vista beta builds and with Vista Ultimate RTM (both x86 and x64). All the
later builds and RTM had the drivers built into the Vista DVD. They "just
worked" as soon as Vista Setup was finished.

But, as J. Clarke said, that's only for the graphics functions, including
Aero, "glass", etc. The TV didn't work at all in either version of Vista or
in WinXP x64. :>(

Aero's fully functional--in fact on the performance score it does better
than an X1650.

Bummer about the AIW features - hope someone tries to get it working.

If you're not tied to using MMC, and I'm not 'cause I use a
stand-alone endcoder, there's a reletively easy way to get the video
capture and viewing portion of the AIW cards functional with Vista.
Works for me on my 9600 AIW. Go here:

Not counting video drivers, which are pretty solid for me, drivers in
general are still a very big problem for me so I'm sticking with XP
for another year or two. Vista has nice eye candy (and you can turn
the annoying stuff off) but it's pretty sluggish for me compared to
XP.

I have the ATI AIW 2006 - this fix allows me to watch tv with AMCAP.
But the aspect ratio is terrible, the sound synch is bad and it has
none of the features built into MMC. After watching it awhile, I
frequently get the BSOD. I hope ATI/AMD comes out with a software
fix soon.

I also have the AIW 2006 and am hoping that Asus offers a
full-capability Vista software package for it.

For what's it worth, ATI/AMD advised me today, after several replies
repeating the direct question, that it is working on VISTA drivers for
the AIW tuner cards but does not know the ETA of these drivers.

 

[Barry Watzman]

I'm not in a hurry, it will likely be a year before I put Vista on this
machine.

I just downloaded the latest Vista Catalyst version and Beyond TV.
The tuner works much better than under AMCAP, although it is still
jumpy. Haven't received the BSOD either. Beyond TV has many of the
same features as MMC, so I'm good until ATI gets their act together.
