Hi Jassi,

What model are you talking about here? Is it a V-Series?

The nVidia Forceware Driver 98.11 for Vista supports the FX Go 5700 with the modded .inf file you can download here - LaptopVideo2Go.com. However, you must have 128MB of graphics memory to be able to use the Aero features of Vista. If you have a V-Series you should be OK

The Sony MPEG RealTime encoder board is your TV Tuner/Analogue Inputs encoder. There is a version of Vaio Zone available for Vista and you can use the TV Tuner to watch TV using this version of Vaio Zone. Unfortunately the Tuner is not Vista Media Centre compliant so you will not be able to watch and record TV in Vista Media Centre.

Not sure if the Flash Media has Vista drivers - you will have to look at the Vista downloads for your model.

Yup I have a V2M Thanks for that link. Would the Sony MPEG RealTime encoder board,
Texas Instruments PCI7420, Integrated FlashMedia Controller all be ok on vista?
