investinwaffles is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
What drivers would i need for my XPS to run vista?

I know it is possible, but what drivers do i need? I know nvidia has some out for the 7800gtx, but i want to have a complete list of vista ready drivers (im going to try it out on a small partition when i get my xps)

Regards,
Waffles.

I installed the latest Beta on my M170. It found almost everything, and what it didn't, Windows Update over the web found the rest.

Yep, Vista will find pretty much all of it...

When I installed the 5342 build on my 9300 a few days ago, it didn't install the sound drivers in the first instance. But a few clicks later, it did find the drivers itself.

Largely it should find most drivers on the Vista CD itself.

Cheers
