Hello:  I thought I would mention NVidia   are very slow about updating 
their drivers  when I built my SLI Asus A8N Deluxe I bought Nvidia  2 GForce 
6600 GT video cards  it took for ever for them to post new drivers -- I got 
so fed up  of waiting I had to run one card for awhile visual was not so 
good testing Vista in this sli setup you can flip the EZ card selector over 
from dual to single - on the motherboard I have an Acer Ferrari 4006 
wireless laptop  too it has ATI video card  I tested Vista in 3 machines the 
ATI came through with each build with no problems --  I replaced NVidia with 
dual ATI Radeon  X1800 Cross Fire   edition  512  in the sli  there are no 
glitches of any sort except the cards are longer  - My chief complaint with 
NVidia- they take for ever updating their drivers  there is no reason in 
being so lax  some of their video cards cost a fortune. You might want to 
read up on the specs for ATI setup - on their site which is compatible for 
your motherboard . Its always preferable to choose a company that is 
conscious of looking after their customers especially if the purchases are 
so recent-   You should  consult  your manual to see if you can run  single 
I know in this sli I can - you need to set it in the bios too- This sli 
runs quite well with one video card but two is better -Have a great day 
Jackie
