I hate Nvidia (new hardware needed)

by ILikeTurtles • 8 Oct 2008, 22:12 • Journals
Yo, I just installed Vista 64 Bit on my PC, just to notice that this "Windows Vista certificated" sticker is just for the lulz on my mobo, because Vista just works with Nvidia gfx cards because they dont leak proper drivers for ati so its just not supports the agp slot on vista.
SERIOUSLY NICE FUCKUP NVIDIA

So i have to buy a new mobo + gfx card ...

Any suggestions ? I wont go over 200€ all together, got a AM2 X2 6000+ CPU and 2x DDR corsair 1GB rams..

no version of vista will work with an ATI gfx card ...

Because its an Nvidia Chipset and following statement of the manufacturer :

QuoteC. ATi™AGP Card (Windows® Vista™ 32-bit / Vista™ 64-bit):
Under Windows® Vista™ 32-bit / Vista™ 64-bit OS, this motherboard does not support ATi™ AGP card because NVIDIA® does not provide nForce3 250 relevant driver for Windows® Vista™ OS.
