Damn you Vista!!!!

Well after getting my new sata hard drive I figured I would install vista on it to see how it would run(plus i need to make a raid disk to install WinXP). All the little neat features that I liked in the beta versions I still like(I was able to copy most of them in WinXP). Its not as slow and unstable as the betas were. So overall I guess I am happy on how its running. The only big issues I am having is that explorer likes to crash more often then I want it to, and the other thing is the issue with my Sapphire HD2600pro. I have been getting constant BSODs which is pretty annoying. The card was running solid when using WinXP, but looking around I found out that I wasn't the only person having this bsod issue. I also found out that setting the core clock on the video card to 550mhz(default is 600mhz) the crashes stop. So I had to install rivaTuner to set that up, and what do you know I can pass the chimp test(the test would crash before). So now that everything is working(kinda) I am fairly happy with it. Its funny to see a video card made for vista fail when on newegg everyone was saying the card doesn't work right on WinXP(I'm having opposite issue).
