Has anybody got the 8800 series Geforce working properly on this board yet?
I have read about dudes got it working on this mobo but in VISTA only not XP.

I have a 8800 GTS 640MB in my good ol' 775Dual-VSTA (sig below), and wanted to let you know that if you end up going with a 8800 in your motherboard you will be restricted to Vista (unless 3d acceleration isn't a concern, then XP will run just fine ;-) ).
Whenever I attempt to install 8800 drivers under XP (including the ones they put out a couple days ago), my box goes into an eternal reboot loop until I drop into safe mode and remove them. Vista, however, except for the fact that the 4x PCI-E slot is capping the 8800's speed (which will be fixed in a couple weeks, once semester is out!), runs perfectly fine. Stalker at max settings is quite a nice experience (and smooth to boot).
