    Vista Driver For Integrated 10/100 Ethernet Chip
    « on: March 01, 2007, 10:02:55 AM »
    I obtained a Dell Dimension 2350 and will upgrade the memory, graphics card and hard drive, and then install Windows Vista Home Premium.  The Dell site does not list a Vista driver for the 10/100 ethernet chip on this motherboard.  Will Windows Vista install a driver for this ethernet chip which will allow it to function correctly.  If not, will the Windows XP driver work in Vista, or are there any alternate sites where I can find the correct driver?

    This is one of the dilemna's for Vista...some XP drivers will run fine for Vista...some will not.
    I'm afraid at this point the only way to tell is to try it.
    I'm fairly certain though for an Ethernet chip that Vista should have it's own drivers included.
    Should being the operative word here...

    Everything on Vista should have been backward compatable
    but apparently it wasn't.

    Probably be as many fixes and headaches as Windows Me
    caused.
