Default Is it safe to install ATI display driver into Windows Vista beta2?



Or should I just stick with the default driver? Windows Vista feels slow
on an Athlon 64 3200+ (754) with 512 MB of RAM.

Thank you in advance.

I recommend the driver that comes with Vista, its likely to fully support
your card, more stable and is WDDM.

Do bear in mind that the ATI drivers are still Beta for Vista.

It would probably be much better if you had at least 1GB of RAM - that's
probably your main problem. Also, Windows Vista's performance has not been
optimized yet, so it will be slow.

It cant hurt. I installed it for my ATI card, even though Im using 5308.

Yes, an upgrade in memory would be good.

OK. I will wait until the final version. I will use this as a minimum
memory requirement for testing.

If you want to test Vista out, and you're worried about performance, you
should wait for the April CTP, which should have some performance
optimization.
