Does Vista include drivers for the chipset and do they work (audio/network mainly)?

If not, do the XP drivers work?

Any feedback in general would be appreciated.

K8Nx is not nForce2, because nForce2 is a socket A chipset!

I got an nForce2 PC using Vista... not much longer though. Sound and everything out of the box, no driver issues with nForce2.

Not correct, it supports the nForce2 ethernet. It does with my Asus A7N8X-X.

In fact, it eliminated the LNE100TX drivers! I was appalled to see that!

Also, you can install the XP nForce2 drivers for the memory controller and SMbus.
