With the release of Microsoft Vista it is almost time to change our motherboard test platforms to the new operating system. I'd imagine that this will happen over the next few months as it takes a lot of testing. One thing we'll have to wait for Vista performance in NVIDIA's drivers to match XP performance. In the meantime each motherboard I review will be reviewed with the tests using XP, but Vista Ultimate Edition also installed to see if there are any issues with the new OS and a new motherboard.
